To Kill a Mockingbird

We saw this staged reading at Profile Theatre two days ago and were blown away by the production. In this staged reading the actors carry scripts, have minimal costuming and minimal sets, but you won't notice this. From the start you will be transported to Macomb, Alabama and the drama enfolding there. Try to see the play on one of these dates:

To Kill a Mockingbird

By Horton Foote

Directed by Pam Sterling


In 1962 Horton Foote received his first Academy Award for his adaptation to the screen of this Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Harper Lee. Foote's screenplay, constructed as a series of episodes recalled by its narrator, Scout, is set in a small Alabama town in 1932 and concerns the trial of an unjustly accused black man who is steadfastly defended by Scout's father, a respected lawyer in the town. This classic tale examines the painful consequences of hate and prejudice and one man's courageous efforts to overcome those powerful forces.
