The journey continued this year when Great Lakes Theater Education Department picked Schmiedl’s script for their renowned Classics On Tour program. This spring, under the direction of Lisa Ortenzi, with Chelsea Cannon as Huck and Chennelle Bryant-Harris returning as Jim, HUCK FINN played to delighted audiences at schools and community centers throughout northeast Ohio. With wonderful, new production values, creative staging and charming detailed acting, The Lantern Theatre is thrilled to bring this winning production to The Big, Red Barn.
