Catch the opening weekend of Big River, Mark Twain’s timeless tale of Huck Finn, who helps his friend, Jim, a slave, escape to freedom near the mouth of the Ohio River. Big River is driven by an award-winning score written by Roger Miller, the king of country music, and the resulting production is a brilliant theatrical celebration of Americana. Big River is presented by Hoogland Productions, directed by Rich McCoy and Joe-Michael Jackson, and features a talented local cast. Tickets to Big River cost $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Hoogland’s box office at 523-2787 or online at http://hcfta.org.
