The Mississippi Bend Players, led by Broadway director and Augustana alumnus Phil McKinley, will kick off their second season with the musical "Big River: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
Augustana College will present the musical "The Drowsy Chaperone" April 27-29 and May 4-6, a Jazz Age show which pokes fun at the cliches of musical theatre.
Dr. Popple, who teaches in theatre and women’s & gender studies, says art encourages people to be open-minded because it requires empathy.
Mississippi Bend Players will present the musical "Big River," based on the Mark Twain novel "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," with music and lyrics by Roger Miller.
