Mark Twain’s beloved American classic comes to life through puppetry, masks, and innovative storytelling in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Puppet Show at The Mark Twain House & Museum. Performances will take place on July 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2026, from 7 pm to 8:30 pm.
Created by master puppet and mask-maker Robert Beuth, this faithful adaptation of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn follows Huck and Jim on their unforgettable journey down the Mississippi River. Using more than 17 handcrafted masks and puppets, along with a traditional visual “cranky” scroll, the production presents Twain’s iconic story in a highly theatrical and imaginative format. Audiences will encounter the memorable characters, adventures, and humor that have made the novel a cornerstone of American literature.
This performance is intended for adult audiences and is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Tickets are $25, while Museum Members may purchase discounted tickets for $20 by signing in with their membership account.
The Mark Twain Museum Store will be open from 6 pm to 7 pm prior to each performance, offering visitors an opportunity to browse books, gifts, and literary memorabilia before the show.
The Mark Twain House & Museum is located at 351 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06105. These performances are generously sponsored by the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation.
