This version is Tom Sawyer TYA (Theater for Young Audiences) and there will be five performances from Journey Theater at Manor Evangelical Church in Battle Ground
The 1840s in Missouri are coming to the 2020s in Clark County.
Journey Theater is proud to present The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Theater For Young Audiences version), with opening night set for May 30 at Manor Evangelical Church in Battle Ground.
This 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 white-washing 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 plopped on the stage.
