Almost everyone who grew up in the past 50 years has likely read Harper Lee's novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" in high school  English class or at least watched Gregory Peck command the court as Atticus Finch in the film adaptation. But one encounter is not enough. It is a story that needs revisiting over and over again.

Set in small-town Alabama in the 1930s, "To Kill A Mockingbird" tells the story of a young girl named Scout and her first encounters with prejudice - as she, her friend and her brother try to contact their mysterious, reclusive neighbor, Boo Radley, and as her father, Atticus, defends a black man, Tom Robinson, accused of raping a white woman in a racially-charged trial.

Directed by Scarlett Turney, this production features Sarah Kate Helton as Scout, James Bassant as Jem and David Cummings as Atticus Finch. The cast also includes Keegan Miller, Becky Hayes, Faye Northcutt-Knox, Becky Coutras, Andrew McKnight, Ted Verbeten, Michael McGee, James Atkins, Quintin Parnell, Phil Mote, Blanche Glimps, Steve Underwood, Richard Stickney, Alexandra McNamara, Matt Hunter, and Heather Willow.
