To kill a mockingbird
Wednesday thru sunday April 29, 30, May 1, 2, 3
Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece comes to life on stage as a profound triumph of American theater, delivering a searing examination of racial injustice and moral courage. Through the lens of Jean, the adult Scout Finch, and her father, Atticus, this brilliant production masterfully balances the warmth of a childhood memoir with the gripping gravity of a courtroom classic to create an unforgettable, deeply moving experience.
