Shelton troupe to present 'Big River'

A celebration of Americana 
 
SHELTON - Center Stage Theatre, in the former Lafayette School, 54 Grove St., will present "Big River, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" for 10 performances. 

The show is directed by Gary Scarpa, with music by the late Roger Miller (King of the Road). It features Derby natives Ali Dunne, Marc Garofalo, and Travis Pyka.

A classic American musical, Big River won seven Tony Awards in 1985, including Best Musical, and then the 2003 Broadway revival of Big River won a special Tony for "Excellence in Theatre."

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 hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life your favorite characters from the novel - 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; 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 provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.


Performances are:

Feb. 1, 2 - 8 p.m.;
Feb. 3 - 2 p.m.;
Feb. 8, 9 - 8 p.m.;
Feb. 10 - 2 p.m.;
Feb. 14 - 7 p.m.;
Feb. 15, 16 - 8 p.m.;
Feb. 17 - 2 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults; $10 for students. For information call 203-225-6079.
