Audiences always enjoy watching their favorite literary characters come to life on stage, especially when seasoned with the wonderful humor of Mark Twain.  Hank Morgan, a teenager who works on his school's stage crew, is knocked out by a co-worker and finds himself transported back to the thrilling days of King Arthur, Queen Guenevere and the Knights and Ladies of the Round Table.  Hank, who has been studying astronomy, predicts an eclipse of the sun and is hailed a great wizard.  He is knighted "Sir Boss" and sets about modernizing Camelot, complete with telephones, bicycles and T-shirts.  But the king's wicked half-sister plots against Camelot, planning an invasion with her own army.  How "Sir Boss" overcomes the evil plot and finds his way back to Hartford, Connecticut, provides fun and excitement for everyone.
