Adapted by Timothy Mason. From Mark Twain.
Directed by Warren Wilgus.
Twain, who called Tom Sawyer a “hymn” to boyhood, would be thrilled with this adaptation which provides an especially good look at traditional U.S. values—and Tom’s attempts to circumvent them. All chief adventures of Tom and his friends are brought to the stage—the famous white-washing, the school-room episodes, the graveyard experience, the pirate adventure on Jackson’s Island, the return to their own funeral at the village church, the trial of Muff Potter, and the finding and losing of treasure.

Adapted by Joseph Robinette. From the novel by L.M. Montgomery.
This new dramatization captures the charm and excitement of L.M. Montgomery’s enduring classic about an orphan girl, Anne Shirley, from her first encounter with her austere guardian to her thrilling graduation from Queen’s Academy. The play faithfully recreates the memorable events and characters from the brilliant novel. Whether the playgoer is an “old friend” of Anne’s or meeting her for the first time, this play will solidify a lasting friendship between the audience and one of literature’s most unforgettable characters.
