The Trial and The Treasure at BRCC

An original play written by instructor/director Matthew Grandpre, The Trial and the Treasure is a full-length theatrical debut loosely based on the novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer & The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain. Popular characters such as Tom Sawyer, Becky Thatcher, Huckleberry Finn, Judge Thatcher, and Mary Jane Wilks go to court in the murder trial of Doctor Robinson. However, as iconic villains arrive, such as a disguised Injun Joe, the trial suddenly plunges into a thrilling escape plan as a revenge plot and hidden treasure are revealed. In this story within a story, plot twists abound and mysteries unfold as the characters get closer and closer to finding the real truth. Characters and audiences alike will display a full range of emotions as they interact to stop evil and learn that family is more important than all the gold in the world.
