Wellsboro Home Page had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of Cowanesque Valley High School’s spring drama, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The energy was felt all throughout the cast and crew during first night of dress rehearsals. Karin Knaus and David Wert teamed up to co-direct this production. Forty-two cast members will bring this literary classic to the stage. With such strong connections to Mark Twain, here in the Twin Tiers, Knaus found it an easy choice of productions to share. You won’t want to miss the talent these students exude!

Show times for Tom Sawyer are Friday February 28 at 7:00, Saturday March 1 at 7:00, and Sunday March 2 at 2:00. Tickets are just $7 for adults, and $3 for students.

“The show itself has been a true delight to prepare. We are proud of our connections to Mark Twain in these Twin Tiers, and the story you are about to see is both familiar and beloved. Also, we think it will stick with you, because everyone knows a Tom Sawyer… he’s the kid down the street who is always getting into mischief or the nephew who makes you laugh in spite of your frustrations or the sister that you want to reprimand, but truly envy for her unflappable spirit of adventure.

We hope this show makes you smile long after the curtain closes and that we send you home with toes tapping from the lively score. Most importantly, we hope you take with you the greatest lesson Tom has to share: life is to be lived with joy.”
