The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
A wonderful summer classic for children in first grade through sixth. 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 BCT to share in lessons of bravery, truth, and adventure where Tom meets his match and mischievous fun begins...Tom Sawyer style.
