Tonight, the Broadway production of To Kill A Mockingbird, Aaron Sorkin's new play, directed by Bartlett Sher, and based on Harper Lee's classic novel, will become the first-ever Broadway play to perform at New York's Madison Square Garden.

This unprecedented, single-performance event will be entirely free to approximately 18,000 students of New York City Department of Education public middle and high schools from all five boroughs.
