To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird at Huntington Avenue Theatre

Why see To Kill A Mockingbird?

The Broadway Hit On Stage!

Opening to much critical acclaim back in 2018 on Broadway, Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin's To Kill A Mockingbird tells the story of a black man accused of rape in pre-Civil Rights-era Alabama and the noble lawyer who defends him. Witness the tale of an era come to life on stage at your local theater!

A portrait of simmering racial tension in a small southern town, To Kill a Mockingbird is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. In today's current climate, its themes of prejudice and inequality seem just as prescient, while the book's steadfast lawyer Atticus Finch remains the gold standard for noble heroes.

What Is To Kill A Mockingbird About?

Told through the eyes of 13-year-old Scout, Mockingbird is set in the pre-civil rights era Deep South of the 1930s. When a local black man, Tom Robinson, is accused of raping a white girl, Scout's lawyer father, Atticus Finch, takes on the case, determined to try and give Tom a fair trial. With his decision to defend Tom, Atticus finds himself ostracised from the community, and the lives of his family are put into danger. As the trial approaches, Atticus must choose whether to buckle under the mounting pressure or to stand his ground and fight for what is right.

Fav Book, Movie & Screenplay writer - but not Exactly A Homerun

When asked what my favorite book & movie are, my answer has always been the same - TKAM. Add Alan Sorkin talent (West Wing is my favorite TV show) and it should have been a perfect storm. This production is not a staged version of the film as some people may expect, but is a fresh retelling of a classic. Most of the performances were great - especially Melanie Moore & Steven Lee Johnson as Scout & Dill. But beloved actor Richard Thomas just didn't have the gravitas on stage to capture the presense of a character such as Atticus Finch. He spoke way too fast for a southern man and didn't carry himself with the strength of Gregory Peck or my literary vision of the character. Having the actor who portrayed the screen version of Scout, Mary Badham, seen here in a supporting role was a thrill. The play strays from the original content's seriousness. Albeit some very funny & timely lines were incorporated, it took away from the important issues raised. The inclusion of a deaf actor portraying a non-deaf character gladdened my heart especially during the recent successes of films & deaf actors receiving accolades. ... Read more

Excellent performance with a message for those who wish to kill or persecute the innocent today as they did back in the 1930’s. If we need an example of a dedicated Advocate to emulate, see Atticus Finch. Bravo Bravo to the entire cast!! ... Read more
