Spring Field Trip

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is based on the classic story by Mark Twain. Tom’s adventures begin with a whitewashed fence, a sweet girl named Becky, Huckleberry Finn, and tales of pirating and treasure hunting. Only after a surprising funeral and a murder trial where the truth is uncovered does the audience see Tom not only as an adventurer but also as a moral hero. Join Birmingham Children’s Theatre to share in lessons of bravery, truth and adventure where Tom meets his match and mischievous fun begins…Tom Sawyer style. Language Arts, Theater, Social Studies, and Performance Etiquette.
