Huck Finn’s ‘Big River’ Adventure Steams into Campus Theater

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.

"Big River" Opens in the Cypress College Campus Theater this weekend.

“Big River” Opens in the Cypress College Campus Theater this weekend.

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.
