To Kill a Mockingbird January 18, 2009

Presented by Metro Theater Company and Edison Theatre
Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel from Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize Winning Novel
Directed by Carol North
This compelling story is set in 1935 in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, where the trial of a black man turns a community on its ear. For 9-year old Scout and her brother Jem, the trial and events surrounding it reveal life lessons in courage as their father, Atticus Finch, takes a stand for what is right. Delving into issues of prejudice and injustice that still challenge our country, To Kill a Mockingbird has an enduring power to touch the heart and awaken the conscience.
Treasured by generations of readers, To Kill a Mockingbird comes to the stage in the caring hands of Metro Theater Company, last seen at Edison Theatre with Hana's Suitcase. This is a rich theatrical experience to share, to reflect upon, to remember.
Recommended for audiences age 10 and older.
The performance will be sign language interpreted.
