Locally Grown Theatre Presents: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Whether it’s fishing with Huckleberry Finn, convincing his friends to whitewash Aunt Polly’s fence, or falling in love with Becky Thatcher, nobody loves life more than the irascible Tom Sawyer. Until one night when Tom and his best friend Huckleberry Finn stumble upon a deadly secret. As Tom and Huck embark on the greatest adventure of their life, they learn that man’s greatest treasure isn’t gold, but the gift of friendship.

A note about content: Locally Grown Theatre is committed to promoting compassionate inclusivity. In our adaptation of Tom Sawyer, we have intentionally eliminated racial slurs and stereotypes, recognizing the importance of viewing classic stories through a modern, respectful lens.
