Mark Twain’s timeless classic “Big River” sweeps the audience down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River.
The adventures of Huck and Jim along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming — bringing to life characters from the novel.
“Big River” is also propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music. This jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
“Big River” opens this weekend and concludes the next in the Cypress College Campus Theater. Tickets are available online at cypresscollegetheateranddance.com. General Admission is $20; students, seniors, children, and employees pay $15. Tickets can also be purchased at the Theater and Dance Department box office which opens 90 minutes prior to show time. There is a $3 per ticket service charge when ordering online or by paying with credit card or debit card at the box office window.
