Why see To Kill A Mockingbird?
The Broadway Hit On Tour!
Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin brings his Broadway smash hit out on tour! Opening to much critical acclaim back in 2018, 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. Directed by the iconic, and Tony-winning Barlett Sher, witness the tale of an era come to life on stage!
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 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 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.

GO!! tell everyone you know!
Just as the book is a masterpiece, this play is as well!! I wondered how the play could reach the depths of the novel, in such a short time, but it was PERFECT!! Everyone NEEDS to hear this message, yet not everyone wants to invest the time in reading this classic. We saw it in small theater in Omaha. It is wonderful for everyone in the family above 12, with the subject matter being a little harsh for anyone younger. Tell everyone you know, they NEED to see this show. It was very moving!. ...

Phenomenal
This is an excellent adaptation of my favorite book. The performance was heartfelt. I really enjoy a play when the cast is committed and the emotion is palpable. It's safe to say this is my absolute favorite performance. I can't recommend this show enough. ... Read more

A must see
Whether or not you’ve read the book, or saw the movie, this stage production of TKAM is a superior theatrical production you don’t want to miss. Every role is perfectly cast. The stage changes from a courthouse to the porch of a southern household are creative. However the twirling door panels could certainly be eliminated with no loss of subject. Being as long as it is ( almost 3 hours ), it easily could be a 3 Act Play with 2 intermissions.
The message is powerful and carries no less meaning that when the book was first published. Spend your theater dollars wisely…get your ticket to this one! ... Read more
