Twain's Tales includes five short stories by the master American storyteller- "The celebrated jumping Frog of Calaveras County, " "Science vs. Luck," "The Joke That Made Ed's Fortune," "The Belated Russian Passport" and "Is He Living or Is He Dead?" -as well as the fence-painting chapter from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The play takes place on the front porch of a general store in what could be Hannibal, Missouri in the late 1800s. The five locals- the storekeeper and his wife, a printer, a reporter, and a riverboat pilot-spend the morning entertaining each other by seeing who can spin the tallest tale. In his own lifetime, Samuel Clemens held all four of these occupations, and his ability as a storyteller may very well have been born while listening to such individuals spinning their yarns at the general store. Auditions are May 28 3:15-5 pm Rehearsals are June 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 from 8:30 am-12 pm Performances on June 13 at 1 pm and 6:30 pm Tickets are sold at the door only.
