Avg. Event Rating (4.3 Stars): Add Review/Comment

A great American classic and one of the most beloved coming-of-age stories ever written, Harper Lee's moving tale of life in rural Alabama during the Depression is filled with heartache and joy, conflict and conciliation. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Scout, a six-year-old tomboy, grows up quickly as her father, Atticus Finch, defends a legal battle that reveals fired of prejudice burning through the South where black and white, rich and poor, young and old struggle to find common ground and survive. To Kill A Mockingbird is the first production in ATC's 'AMERICA PLAYS! Celebrating Great American Stories' initiative. This ambitious multi-year series of American classics will include special public forums, readings, education programs and state-wide community-based events.

    A must see!! Loved it! I liked the 2nd half a bit more. I think John played a perfect Atticus! Jessica as Mayella needs to deliver the part where she says "I'm gona say this...and I ain't gonna say it... Expand

    A must see!! Loved it! I liked the 2nd half a bit more. I think John played a perfect Atticus! Jessica as Mayella needs to deliver the part where she says "I'm gona say this...and I ain't gonna say it no more" with much more convictions. In the movie, it made my skin crawl...it needs to be delivered just a little louder and with more heart. 6 of us went last night and we all loved it. Christopher as Dill was PERFECT!!! Daria as Scout won our hearts and big brother Lorin as Jem did so too. These young people got a standing ovation...and deserved it. If you have never seen To Kill a Mockingbird...rent the CD and then go see the play. You have just a few days left to go see it...don't miss out! Collapse

    Wendy is exactly how I would picture Scout grown up to be. She not only narrates, but reacts to the scenes playing out as very vivid memories. Daria also does a great job as 9-yr old Scout, tomboyishly winning. Christopher is perfect as the bookishly brave Dill, and Lorin, was simply dignified. Scott was perfectly awful (in a good way) and hilarious, as the trashy Bob Ewell, father and worse to Mayella Ewell, also perfectly played with pathos and stubborn, ignorant denial by Jessica. Everyone in the cast was good, the only off-key note -this might be just me- was John as Atticus Finch. Blame Gregory Peck bias, but with his choppy, full-volume delivery he sounded more con man than a man of quiet convictions, more Preston-ish Music Man than earnest lawyer. But, honestly, who could follow Mr. Peck? Or maybe you will disagree. The set was fantastic, fluid; direction was smooth, too. Go see it! Collapse
