Big River: Theatre for Young Audiences Edition
by William Hauptman, Mark Twain, Roger Miller

Newly revised adaptation designed for a smaller cast performing for today's young audiences!

Ideal for teen actors.

With the support of over 100 consensus organizers (individuals and organizations serving the Black community), this revision of Broadway’s Tony-winning musical will lift your spirit.

The small-cast, hour-long version of Mark Twain’s celebrated novel has removed offensive language and expanded the role of Jim, now the same age as Huck.

Twain’s classic sweeps audiences down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, an enslaved teen, escape to freedom from enslavement.

This tale of friendship against all odds is recreated for young audiences as two best friends demonstrate the power young people have to change the world.
