Sacred Heart Model School and Ursuline School for the Performing Arts present “Tom ‘n Huck”

LOUISVILLE, KY (January 2007) - The irrepressible Tom Sawyer, his best buddy Huck Finn and many other beloved characters created by Mark Twain come to life in “Tom ‘n Huck,” an all-American adventure presented by the Level 8 students at Sacred Heart Model School on February 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. All shows will be in Ursula Auditorium (Bldg. #5) on the Ursuline Campus at 3105 Lexington Rd.

After being accused of stealing Becky Thatcher’s gold necklace, Tom and Huck decide to take off for the swamp. Tom and Huck meet up with Mary Meechum, thought to be a witch, and that’s when the real trouble—and fun—begins!

All tickets are $5. Performances are open to the public, and reservations may be made by calling the Ursuline School for the Performing Arts (USPA) at 897-1816.
