A moving adaptation of a cherished classic
Set in Maycomb, Alabama in 1935, this timeless story based on Harper Lee’s beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a memory play told through the eyes of Scout, the fiercely independent daughter of Atticus Finch. The town is abuzz with the upcoming trial of Tom Robinson, an African American man accused of raping a white woman. While Finch, the white lawyer assigned to defend Tom, refuses to compromise his ideals in the face of mounting community pressure, Scout learns about tolerance and acceptance even as racial tensions threaten to tear the town apart.
Join us for a thoughtful exploration of where Lee’s story sits in the arc of racial politics in our country, and experience this cherished classic on stage alongside conversation in the community about her sequel, Go Set a Watchman.
