Part of the company's 41st Season, this powerful production brings one of the most important stories in American literature vividly to life for today's audiences.

Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel from Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill A Mockingbird is a moving exploration of justice, compassion, and moral courage.

The cast also features a stacked ensemble of beloved Wilmington performers and regional favorites, highlighting Opera House Theatre Company's continued commitment to pairing professional talent with outstanding local artists.

Directed by Justin Smith and stage managed by Terri Hsu, this production marks a rare opportunity for Opera House Theatre Company to present a straight play on the Thalian Hall Main Stage. The company is especially proud to bring this meaningful and timely work to the forefront, offering audiences an intimate, thought-provoking theatrical experience.
