Show of hands for Tom Sawyer show

We’re planning a fun school bus trip to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer show at Selwyn College Theatre in Auckland in the upcoming school holidays. We need to know by end of this week who’s keen to come so we can confirm the outing.

CHANGE OF DATE
Now Thursday 21st April 2016.

Bus departs school 11am and returns 3.30pm.
Adult $40 and Child $30. Includes your ticket to the show and return bus ride.

Please email sallyjgrey@gmail.com or leave a comment below to reserve seats on our Tom Sawyer bus adventure. We need to know numbers by this Friday. Kids, parents, grandparents and friends all welcome on board.

Tom Sawyer is a force of nature with an unquenchable thirst for action and excitement. Over one summer, he dupes his playmates into whitewashing a fence, sneaks out of his Aunt Polly’s house at night to visit a graveyard, steals his first kiss from the ravishing Becky Thatcher and, with his bosom buddy Huckleberry Finn, tracks the murderous Injun Joe and his stolen gold.

Mark Twain’s immortal classic about growing up in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi is a joyous leap into the great river of time and memory. Conjuring all the mystery and magic of childhood, this famous coming-of-age story is full of twists and turns and adventures the whole family will treasure.
