Presented by Actors' Repertory Theatre of Simi, Big River is a Tony-winning musical based on Mark Twain's classic novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Featuring music in the bluegrass and country styles in keeping with the setting of the novel, Mark Twain's beloved classic takes you back to old "Muddy Waters," as Huck Finn and the runaway Jim escape down the mighty Mississippi River in search of freedom. Featuring a score from country music legend Roger Miller, the hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming Big River can be enjoyed at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center.

Event Description:

Please note: There is some pretty liberal use of the “N” word in the dialogue which may be horrendously offensive to some patrons (as it should be). The story of Huckleberry Finn takes place in and around Mississippi during the time preceding the emancipation proclamation when the use of that word was commonplace. While the producers do not in any way condone the use of this word, it is not being struck from the script for the purpose of historical accuracy.
