The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn at Moving Arts

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...Join Huck Finn, his runaway slave companion Jim, the King, the Duke, and the myriad other vivid characters he meets on his trek down the Mighty Mississippi in actor Robert Beuth's whimsical one-person adaptation of Mark Twain's classic 1884 novel. By his own admission, Beuth is no ventriloquist; nonetheless, he successfully uses puppets, masks, and his own formidable vocal talents to inhabit the many characters from what Twain himself called "a satirical expose of slavery." The night I attended, Beuth overcame a few technical, verbal, and physical stumbles with aplomb, thanks to his reverence for Twain's tome and his earnest geniality."
