Production of "To Kill a Mockingbird" at Theatre Baton Rouge

That scene also will play out in Christopher Sergel's stage adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel when Theatre Baton Rouge opens "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Sept. 22.
It's one of the story's most definitive moments — Scout sees her father through the eyes of another.
He's Atticus Finch, the small-town lawyer who doesn't see morality as a choice. He does what's right, and the right thing to do in 1935 Alabama is to defend a black man wrongly accused of rape.
Scout witnessed her father's steadfastness in the vitriol, and the respect given him from the balcony when he passes, even after a disappointing verdict.
Addie Prochaska is Scout, and the racial crux of the play is unfamiliar to this 11-year-old, as well as to 12-year-old Beau Willis, who plays her brother, Jem, and 11-year-old Joey Roth, who plays their friend, Dill.
In high school, they made us read the more popular Steinbeck and Golding books. I still can't believe they never made us read Harper Lee.
In any case, any OT'ers going to see this one? Should be a good show.

I'm not planning on going. But for the record, I'm a man, not a chick.

Truman Capote wrote it and let his friend Harper Lee take credit.

Going to see 9 to 5 at the theatre in Bay St Louis this weekend. Should be funny.
I build the sets and this one was insane.

Their writing style was completely different. I like how people say this like it is a fact.

Wasn't planning on it, but that might be a good time.

The only connection to Truman Capote was Dill's character. Lee and Capote were friends and she based Dill's character on Capote.

I assumed the culprit was that the English Lit curriculum hadn't been updated in 40 years.

I'm going. In fact, I'm a distant relative of Addie who plays Scout. We're very proud of her!

I agree. I doubt anyone parroting that talking point has ever read anything by Capote.

Is this the production where there are going to be nude cast members? I think I remember reading about that a while back.

Why are you bringing a big arse piece of furniture to a play? Is it for the set?

Never mind...I see that it was "Hair" that had the nude scene.
Continue on.

Never know when they might need an extra chifferobe to bust up
