DAVIS, CA (MPG) - Davis Musical Theatre Company (DMTC) presents its Young Performers’ Theatre production of “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, from July 19 through July 28 at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center (607 Pena Drive, #10) in Davis.

The classic Mark Twain story jumps off the page and comes to life in this musical adaptation of America's favorite book. “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” is the irresistible story of a young boy growing up in the heartland of America. Set in 1840 Missouri, it is the tale of young Tom Sawyer and the never-ending mischief of which he so often finds himself a part of; whether it's matching wits with Aunt Polly, tricking his friends into whitewashing a fence for him, or narrowly escaping the clutches of a murderous villain. Along with best friend, Huckleberry Finn, and love interest Becky Thatcher, the greatest Tom Sawyer exploits are plucked from the book and plopped on the stage.

Tom Sawyer will be played by Harper Kidd, Huckleberry Finn by Patrick Cobb, and Becky Thatcher by Emberley Entao.

Jan Isaacson will direct and choreograph, with Montana Monroe providing musical direction.

“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” plays on Fridays at 7 p.m. (July 19, July 26), Saturdays at 2 p.m. (July 20, July 27), and Sundays at 2 p.m. (July 21, July 28). All performances are at the Jean Henderson Performing Arts Center, 607 Pena Drive in Davis. Tickets are $8 for all ages.
