Presented by Queen City Flash
April 27-May 9
Various

Directed by Bridget Leak

Cast: Kyle Daniels, Lauren Hayes, Patrick McWilliams, Roderick Whitney Jr., Tara Williams & Paul Wilson

THE COMPLETE TOM: 2. HUCKLEBERRY continues THE COMPLETE TOM‘s trend of combining Mark Twain’s writings into an expanded telling of Tom and Huck’s story. The second installment in Queen City Flash’s four-play cycle reunites Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with a cut chapter found in Life on the Mississippi and related footnotes from Twain’s Chapters from My Autobiography. Please note, 2. HUCKLEBERRY is a faithful adaptation of the original story and therefore includes racial slurs consistent with Twain’s social commentary.

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky! THE ADDAMS FAMILY features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.
