CYT Kane County Presents “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”

Broadway Musical Comes to Elgin in February 

Christian Youth Theater (CYT) students of Kane County will present the Broadway version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, February 10-20, 2005 at the Wonderland Ballroom, 310 E. Chicago Street, Elgin, Illinois. The CYT Kane County presentation is based on the Mark Twain novel.  Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn were two legendary cut-ups who knew how to have a good time along the Mississippi in the 1800’s.  Imagine them reliving some of the fun of a more innocent era as this favorite story from America’s folklore is staged.
