Music by Don Schiltz Book by Ken Ludwig Nov. 4 to 8  Tuesday to Saturday,  7:30 pm $15 per person Saturday, Nov. 10 2:00 pm Adults $15	TOM SAWYER Mark Twain's classic story comes to exuberant musical life in this Broadway adaptation of America's favorite book. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the irresistible story of a fourteen-year-old boy growing up in the heartland of America. This Broadway musical version of Mark Twain's immortal novel is set in 1840 in St. Petersburg, Missouri, a bustling town on the banks of the Mississippi River. In the course of the story, Tom matches wits with his stern Aunt Polly, falls in love with the beautiful, feisty Becky Thatcher, and goes on the adventure of his life with Becky and that irresistible renegade, Huckleberry Finn. Along the way we meet a terrifying villain named Injun Joe, Tom's bratty half-brother Sid, and all the other boys and girls in the village - providing one scene-stealing children's role after the other. Filled with foot-stomping, toe-tapping songs and a warm, funny book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a tale of thrilling escapes, comedy and inspiration for the whole family.

By Jerry Mayer Our Traveling Show For more information or to book a performance in your community, Email shirljc@mts.net	TWO ACROSS Two strangers, a man and a woman , board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 AM. They're alone in the car, each is married, both are doing the New York Times crossword. She's an organized, sensible, psychologist. He's a free spirited, unemployed ad exec. She is a crossword pro, he always quits. When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, "Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don't, fail." Now he vows to finish. Why? He's a competitor and she happens to be lovely. This starts an 80 minute ride described by critics as "Hilarious," "Witty," "Romantic," "Poignant," "Wonderfully entertaining." Two opposites in an enclosed space, attacking each other's values but also being swayed and intrigued by them. They each have serious life problems that the other helps them solve. Their trip is filled with unpredictable but believable surprises, even a passionate embrace or two. As the train ride ends it's obvious each of them has been changed for the better. And we're dying to know, will these two meet again?
