Visit Maycomb, Alabama When Millbrook Presents TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

Millbrook presents the third main stage production of the 55th anniversary season, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, adapted by Christopher Sergel, from the novel by Harper Lee, playing from July 20th to 28th.

It's 1935, and racial tensions are high in Maycomb, Alabama. Nonetheless, young Jean Louise Finch - or Scout, as she is fondly called - manages to live a rather carefree, privileged existence, insulated from issues of race. All that changes when Scout watches her father, Atticus Finch, defend an innocent man, Tom Robinson, against a potential death sentence, which looms threateningly against him because of prejudice due to race Scout begins to realize that just because society portrays something as being true doesn't mean that it is actually fact. With the help of Atticus, and her older brother Jem, Scout learns that "growing up" often means doing what is right, even when it comes at great cost. Winner of the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, To Kill A Mockingbird is now considered an American Masterpiece about the power of childhood innocence, morality, and love.
