After a decade-long absence, we are thrilled to welcome back the award-winning Christopher Sergel adaptation of Harper Lee's iconic novel, 'To K*ll a Mockingbird,' to the MMT stage. Set in a tranquil Alabama town during the Great Depression, the story revolves around Scout and Jem, growing up with their widowed father, Atticus Finch. Transporting us to a simpler era, the play captures the essence of a bygone time, with children's summer adventures, storytelling, and intrigue surrounding their enigmatic neighbor, Boo Radley. However, the town's serene façade shatters when a young black man faces a grave accusation. Driven by unwavering moral principles, local lawyer Atticus embarks on a courageous journey to defend the accused in a trial that sends shockwaves through the community. This enduring and thought-provoking work delves into themes of prejudice, compassion, and the unyielding commitment to doing what's right.
