Set in Maycomb, Alabama in 1935, Scout, a wide-eyed tomboy, plays witness to the racial inequities and prejudices of the era. She and her brother, Jem, are being raised by their widower father, Atticus, and by their strong-minded housekeeper named Calpurnia. When a black man is falsely accused of raping a white woman, Atticus, a lawyer, is enlisted for the defense. The sleepy town is torn apart by the ensuing trial and Scout is about to experience dramatic events that will affect the rest of her life. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for under 18.
