MARK TWAIN'S BLUES

Genre: Comedy, Musical
Directed by TOM HERMAN with Music Direction by DAVID WOLFSON and Choreography by JAMES BEAUDRY

"MARK TWAIN'S BLUES" opens with the 65-year-old Mark Twain preparing for another of his many lecture tours. But this one will be different, because soon after Twain begins to speak, he's surprised by a voice from the audience: it's Huckleberry Finn, now a full 20 years older than he was in Twain's book. He's soon joined by escaped slave Jim--now 50 years old--and together the two accuse their creator of betraying the truth of their lives in order to boost book sales. Determined to set the record straight once and for all, Huck and Jim act out some of the scenes in Twain's book...but this time, the way they should have happened. Featured in the cast: BONNE KRAMER, LANCE OLDS, BARRY PHILLIPS and BILL TATUM as Mark Twain.
