St. John’s Drama Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday with The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Broadway Musical!

 

St. John’s Drama is excited to announce its upcoming production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Broadway Musical! This lively production brings Mark Twain’s beloved classic to life with incredible music and high energy. Even better, the show lines up with two huge milestones: the USA’s 250th birthday and the 150th anniversary of a classic piece of American literature originally published in 1876. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a piece of American history!

​

Set in 1840s Missouri, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer tells the tale of 14-year-old Tom Sawyer and the never-ending mischief of which he so often finds himself a part—from the infamous whitewashing of Aunt Polly’s fence and his friendship with Huckleberry Finn to his attempts to win the attention of Becky Thatcher and an exciting adventure inside a cave.

​

The musical features a score by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Don Schlitz (famous for country music classics like “The Gambler” and “Forever and Ever, Amen”) and a book by acclaimed playwright Ken Ludwig. Together, Schlitz and Ludwig transform Twain’s classic story into an entertaining, toe-tapping musical adventure that brings the characters and spirit of 19th-century America to life for audiences of all ages.

​

Celebrate 250 years of America, and 150 years of Tom Sawyer, with St. John’s Drama!
