The

characters of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer are legends

in American Literature. Their adventures spanned two

novels by Mark Twain and now are combined in the Fayette

Community Theatre production of the musical

"Huckleberry Finn."

The musical

was originally performed off-Broadway and was a smashing

success. The New York Daily News gave it a stellar review

musical. Huck must take its place way, way on top with

the finest."

The cast of

25 will take audiences on a journey down the Mississippi

River. Huck and Tom encounter shady medicine men, pretty

young ladies, colorful townsfolk and classic con-men.

Some of the classic adventures from the novel "The

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" are not part of the

musical but the performance is suitable for the entire

family.

Huck's

General Store will be open prior to the performance and

during intermission. This old time establishment will be

full of lots of goodies that come directly from the show.

Some of the products available will be old-fashioned

peppermint sticks, balloons, Tom and Huck's miniature

rafts, and Huck's sling shots.

The actors

playing the mischievous Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer

are Joey Summers and Craig De Lorenzo, respectively. Both

actors are veteran actors with Fayette Community Theatre.
