To Kill A Mockingbird at Ahmanson Theater

Why see To Kill A Mockingbird?

The Broadway Hit On Tour!

Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin brings his Broadway smash hit out on tour! Opening to much critical acclaim back in 2018, To Kill A Mockingbird tells the story of a black man accused of rape in pre-civil rights era Alabama and the noble lawyer who defends him. Directed by the iconic, and Tony-winning Barlett Sher, witness the tale of an era come to life on stage!

A portrait of simmering racial tension in a small southern town, To Kill a Mockingbird is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. In today's current climate, its themes of prejudice and inequality seem just as prescient, while the book's steadfast lawyer Atticus Finch remains the gold-standard for noble heroes.

What Is To Kill A Mockingbird About?

Told through the eyes of 13-year-old Scout, Mockingbird is set in the pre-civil rights era Deep South of the 1930s. When local black man Tom Robinson is accused of raping a white girl, Scout's lawyer father Atticus Finch takes on the case, determined to try and give Tom a fair trial. With his decision to defend Tom, Atticus finds himself ostracised from the community, and the lives of his family put into danger. As the trial approaches, Atticus must choose whether to buckle under the mounting pressure or to stand his ground and fight for what is right.

Great Show

I was thinking the movie was so intense, how was it going to be on stage? Richard Thomas was great, as so was the whole cast. I liked the way they did put a little humor into it. I was very glad I went to see it. It did send the same message I got from the original movie. ... Read more

Overall, what a wonderful production! Last time I saw this show was at the Barksdale theater in 2002 with Joe Inscoe as Atticus finch and I believe an actor named Shawn Plummer played Bob Ewell

Thought the production was wonderful, and went to the Marriott hotel for drinks and dinner before and had an excellent time! Great job, Richmond!!!!! ... Read more

Mockingbird at Barbara Mann

The show itself was well done and very close to the 1962 film. The venue is not well suited for plays due to the acoustics. Up in the balcony there are these two large speaker columns...that they didn't turn on...but they did want to rent you some headphones so you could hear the play. Either rent the headphones, or find a better venue for plays of this sort. ... Read more
