To Kill a Mockingbird
January 27, 2012- February 12, 2012
As this compelling story is told through the eyes of Scout, the tomboyish young daughter of small-town lawyer Atticus Finch, it becomes clear that
To Kill a Mockingbird is a love story: a father’s love for his children, their love for him, and a love for the South.
This timeless classic compels us to take an honest look at our nation’s past and our moral responsibility to each other. The fundamental lessons of compassion, justice, integrity and courage are significant and still powerfully relevant today, making this play a must for every new generation.

Closing out The Rep’s season is a very special treat by the
Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Picnic and Bus Stop. A Loss of Roses, a little-known
William Inge masterpiece, bravely tells the story of two women struggling to make their
lives bearable in a small Kansas town.
Penned in the intimate style of Tennessee Williams (who was his mentor), but with William Inge’s graceful insight into the lives of broken families, A Loss of Roses is a bittersweet romance about the loss of innocence which garnered a young Warren Beatty a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in the 1959 Broadway production.
