"...After the play ended, my eight-year-old daughter was bursting with questions and comments about the war, slavery, and the Underground Railroad. I was delighted to have an interesting and charming character like Homer and his adventures to use when discussing these serious historical events with my daughter. So, I must thank Homer and everyone involved with this production of The (Mostly True) Adventures of Homer P. Figg for imparting a few powerful life lessons and for throwing in some American history facts as well."

Add Rodman Philbrick’s Homer P. Figg to the list of literature’s charming boyish rogues like Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He’s a clever lad who is not above stretching the truth when he believes that the situation warrants it. The Civil War era presents a variety of challenging circumstances that are played out in The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg, a family theatre production receiving its world premiere at the Kennedy Center.
