NORTH HIGH WILDCAT PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
North High Wildcat Productions
will bring to life the familiar characters and
scenes from Mark Twain’s famous novel when they
present “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” at 7:30 p.m.
on January 22nd and 23rd in the North High School
Performing Arts Center. Cost is $4 for students
and $6 for adults.
Funded in part by the Davenport
Community Schools Foundation, two additional
reduced-price matinee performances on those same
days will be opened to students from classes around
the Davenport Community Schools district who are
currently reading the Mark Twain novel as part of
their language arts curriculum. According to Helen
Brennan, drama director at North, these special
matinees are designed to give younger students an
opportunity to experience Mark Twain’s stories in a
different context. “This is a good way to both
strengthen and enhance the language arts curriculum
featuring Twain’s novels. Reading the novel and
seeing the play will bring out even more aspects of
Twain’s work,” she notes.

evening performances, call North High School at
