Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evening during Fall Pilgrimage as well as two Sunday matinees, October 21 – November 6, 2005, Big River will be presented. Talk about fun, this hand clappin', toe tappin', Roger Miller musical adventure down the Mighty Mississippi is about Huckleberry Finn based on the works of Mark Twain and won the Tony award for Best Musical.  If you are coming to Natchez during Fall Pilgrimage this show is a must see.
