Becky Thatcher - License Pack

BECKY THATCHER

The genesis of Becky Thatcher :

1. What is a classic story to adapt for the stage? Tom Sawyer
2. How many boys do we have available? As always with theater; not enough.
3. Why aren't there more shows with girls as the main character?

Our response to all of these questions was to take Mark Twain's classic of American Literature and see it through the eyes of his momentary 'fiance', Becky. 

Complete with a spunky, rebellious young woman,  Becky Thatcher still has many of the adventures that we are familiar with including the famous whitewash scene, but lets us meet Becky and many of the girls of Hannibal, Missouri and see Mark Twain's timeless classic through fresh eyes.
