Family, Fairness and Truth
This American classic will compel and delight audiences as it explores the power of family and the pursuit of justice with wisdom, wit and warmth. Set in a sleepy Southern town in the 1930s, the play tells the story of the widower, attorney Atticus Finch, who undertakes the unpopular defense of a wrongly accused young black father. Patient and committed to justice in the face of community prejudice and outrage, Atticus instills in his children the traditional family values of integrity, courage, responsibility for one’s actions and respect for human dignity. Directed by Kate Tonti and produced by Marianne S. Paul.
