The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has been in print for nearly 150 years. The story is considered a masterpiece of American literature and perfectly captures both the childhood sense of wonder and play exemplified by Tom and the social criticism that made Mark Twain a household name. The story has been adapted into numerous television specials and films over the years, and has now been adapted to the stage by Boston’s own Needham Community Theatre.
