A wonderful theatre adaptation by F. Scott Regan of the adventures of Mark Twain’s story – “Tom Sawyer” depicts the adventures of Tom, his partner in crime, Huckleberry Finn, and Becky Thatcher. Tom gets in trouble at school, witnesses a crime, hides out on a deserted island, attends his own funeral, gets lost in a cave and returns to Hannibal as a hero.

Performance dates: August 14-16
We are excited to announce that auditions are open for the Teen Rep musical, Sweeney Todd! Director Andrea Schreiner is seeking actors 14-19
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth-century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!
This special School Edition has been masterfully adapted, working directly with Mr. Sondheim to retain the dark wit and grand scope of the original work, with a few lyric and key changes to facilitate high school productions. At the show’s core is a challenging score of epic proportion with two tasty tour-de-force roles in Sweeney and his comic female accomplice, Mrs. Lovett.
