"TO KILL A
MOCKINGBIRD
"
is produced and directed by Dennis Brown (Vero
Voce). As a Southern Gothic
novel, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial
injustice and the destruction of innocence. Scholars have noted that Harper Lee
(author) also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles
in the American Deep South. The book is widely taught in schools with lessons
that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. Despite its themes, To Kill a
Mockingbird
has been subject to campaigns for removal from public
classrooms, often challenged for its use of racial epithets.



Performances are on Fridays at 8PM, Saturdays at 7:30PM and Sundays at
3PM, Aug 29-Sep 14, 2014. Tickets are $18 Adults / $15 Seniors / $9 Children,
