"To Kill a Mockingbird" at Community Players of Concord

As the third offering of its 98th season, the Community Players of Concord will present To Kill a Mockingbird, Christopher Sergel’s stage adaptation of the 1960 Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Harper Lee.  To Kill a Mockingbird depicts a disturbing chapter of life in a sleepy Depression era Alabama town, where 9-year-old Scout and her brother Jem live with their widowed father, attorney Atticus Finch.  When a young black man is accused of a terrible crime, Atticus defends the man in a trial that sends violent waves throughout the community. Timeless and lingering, this hard-hitting work explores prejudice, compassion and the courage to do what is right.  The production is directed by Elizabeth Lent and the cast includes Chris Demers as Atticus, Emerson Sullivan as Scout, Emerson Morse as Jem, Simon Hutchins as Dill, Saphaedra Renee as Calpurnia, Patricia Kegel as Miss Maudie and Matthew J. Murray as Tom Robinson.
