The Palace Theatre in Historic Georgetown opens the powerful musical Big River: The Adventures of Huck Finn on July 17 for a 5-weekend run. With book by William Hauptman, music by the multi-talented Roger Miller, and direction by David Sray, Mark Twain's timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are funny, suspenseful, and heartwarming, bringing to life favorite characters from the novel, such as the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; and the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the 'King of Country Music,' this jaunty journey with music to warm the heart and soul provides a theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
