About the Show

​The unforgettable characters and events from Harper Lee’s beloved classic novel come to vibrant life in this powerful and moving drama. As the Finch children (Scout and Jem, along with their friend, Dill) are discovering compassion for their mysterious and misunderstood neighbor Boo Radley, their idyllic childhood is shattered by prejudice, bigotry, and violence when their widowed father Atticus Finch – a lawyer of courage and integrity – is asked to defend a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in Depression-era Alabama. This timeless story, told through the eyes of a child, presents both social injustice and compassionate heroism in situations that resonate powerfully in today’s headlines. PLEASE NOTE: Harper Lee’s provocative novel includes accurate and frank use of the racially-charged language of the time period. This use of language remains in this play adaptation as an honest depiction of bigotry and racial injustice.
