As they encounter conmen, an orphaned family, and bigotry along the way, the show is
surprisingly relevant and alive in 2022. At its heart, Big River is about developing one's own
morality and sense of right and wrong as opposed to adopting indoctrinated thought without question.

Injoy Fountain (Alice), Maurissa Cunningham (Alice's Daughter), Gina Austin-Fresh (Widow
Douglas), Sabrina Hamble (Miss Watson, etal), Nic Wetta (Tom Sawyer), Nick Albrecht (The
King), Lyle Valentine (The Duke), Kelcy Mohr (Mary Jane Wilkes) along with an ensemble cast of Dennis Arnold, Arietta Austin, Drake Belisle, Kellen Clinton, Philip Hanson, Kayla Knoll, Sheldon MBA, Keaton Mohr, and Thomas Yambo-Rios. Direction by Damron Armstrong with Musical Direction by Whitney Reader. Sheldon Mba choreographs, J Branson has scenic designed with Porter Jones lighting.
