The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts is pleased to announce its spring Community Theatre Production: Big River. The adventures of Huckleberry Finn are set to come to life in the Dulcie Theatre throughout the month of March.
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 hilarious, suspenseful, and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
This production features Leigh Gregory, who wowed audiences as Jim during a similar community theatre production at the Firehouse 5 Theatre twenty years ago. Welcome him back to Livingston!
Big River runs weekends, March 2nd–25th. Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm. Additional Saturday matinees are set for March 10th, 17th and 24th at 3pm each afternoon. Tickets are $18 for adults, $14 for seniors and college students, and $10 for youth 17 and under. Reservations are available at www.theshanecenter.org or by calling the box office at (406) 222-1420. The Shane Center is located at 415 E Lewis St.
