Under the direction of Charlotte Mosteller, with choreography by Mo Brower and musical direction by Donna Valvo, this production promises to be top-notch. The talented cast also includes Steve Pond as the Duke, Drace Langford as the King, Johnny Wagoner as Pap, LaTonya Parham Thompkins as Alice, and Zak Ralston as Tom Sawyer. Along with an ensemble of 18 performers, this show is sure to be a highly entertaining experience.
