The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – CMT Rising Stars

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the irresistible story of a fourteen-year-old boy growing up in the heartland of America, based on the classic novel.

Filled with foot-stomping, toe-tapping songs by Don Schlitz (“The Gambler”) and with a book by Ken Ludwig, this musical adventure is a tale of thrilling escapes, comedy and inspiration for the whole family.

Set in 1840 Missouri, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the tale of young Tom Sawyer and the never-ending mischief of which he so often finds himself a part; whether it’s matching wits with Aunt Polly, tricking his friends into whitewashing a fence for him or narrowly escaping the clutches of a murderous villain.

Along with his best friend Huckleberry Finn and his love interest Becky Thatcher, the greatest Tom Sawyer exploits are plucked from the book and brought to the stage.

This CMT Rising Stars production features a cast of talented performers, ages 8-14.
