To Kill a Mockingbird
September 22, 2009

Winner of the 1960 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is unquestionably an American classic.  As moving, poignant and resonant as when it first burst upon the American literary landscape fifty years ago, this classic American tale of justice, acceptance, growing up and forgiveness continues to touch each new generation of theater goers with its power and inspiration.  The story of To Kill a Mockingbird is simple, yet it speaks deeply and eloquently of human nature and of human values. The action is set in the 1930's in a sleepy Southern town, where Atticus Finch, an attorney and the widowed father of two young children, stands against his fellow townspeople by defending a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. Through every step and with every word, Atticus instills in his children the traditional moral values of respect for others, honesty, courage, integrity, and above all, responsibility for one's actions.  Montana Repertory Theatre, one of the oldest and most respected touring companies in the country, has a long history of touring American classics to cities large and small.  It is their passion, artistry and strong production values that have them returning to communities year after year.  Montana Rep assembles principle actors, directors, and designers with prestigious credits, including Broadway, Off-Broadway, national tours of Broadway shows, and major regional theatre credits.
