The much-anticipated Deaf West Theatre production of BIG RIVER, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn returned to Los Angeles in January 2005. On Thursday, January 20th, Deaf West Theatre welcomed friends and supporters for a fundraising event.

Marlee Matlin and Bradley Whitford of NBC's The West Wing were the Mistress and Master of Ceremony for the event. Two hundred participants enjoyed a delicious 3-course meal at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion before heading over to the Ahmason Theatre to enjoy the production.
