A

Tom Sawyer play is an adventure

A 35-minute hand-clapping, foot-stomping musical version of a Mark Twain favourite returns with this Tall Stacks festival.

Tom Sawyer: A River Adventure has all the good stuff, including the fence painting, the graveyard, the island and the cave. It is adapted by Joe McDonough, with music by David Kisor. That􀆳s the local stage writing team that creates many of the Children􀆳s Theatre of Cincinnati􀆳s original musicals, along with the holiday family musicals at Ensemble Theatre.

This year Nathan Turner of Burlington is Tom Sawyer, and Robbie McMath of Fort Mitchell is Huck Finn.

Turner, a 10th-grader at School for Creative and Performing Arts, is a familiar presence on Cincinnati􀆳s stages. He is a star actor of Children􀆳s Theatre, having played leading roles in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Wizard of Oz, and is fresh from Jersey Production Ragtime.

McMath is a junior at Beechwood High School. He was in the cast

of Tom Sawyer when it was first performed and is a Children􀆳s Theatre regular, with five shows to his credit. This summer he attended Kentucky􀆳s Governor􀆳s School for the Arts in Musical Theatre.

Note to teachers: Children􀆳s Theatre has a study guide demonstrating how maths and science can be taught through Tom Sawyer. For downloadable lessons, visit the official website of Children􀆳s Theatre.
