The historical red 1885 Charlotte Courthouse (located at Courthouse Square in downtown Charlotte) will be the venue for the Andromeda Community Theatre’s production of To Kill A Mockingbird. This marks the new theatre group’s first production of 2015, and hopes to bring some authenticity and creativeness to the show by staging it in a courthouse. The show runs June 4-14.
Based on Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Atticus Finch (Mike Sobocinski), a lawyer from the Depression-era South tries to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape; and protect his children from the evils of prejudice. To Kill A Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story of Scout Finch (Carleigh Lundquist) and her brother, Jem (Jerrad Epkey) in 1930's Alabama. Through their neighborhood meanderings and the example of their lawyer father, Atticus, they grow to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of their world no matter how subtle it seems.
Audiences will actually sit in the Charlotte Courthouse and view this production, as if they were witnessing the trial itself. Director Heather Hipkiss has assembled a cast of both veterans and newcomers. Other lead cast members include: Kalli Dempsey, Hannah Hipkiss, Bill Mitchell, Angela Davis, Alec Barrone, Winston Wheaton, David Talik, Jon Hall, Marcus Herndon and Gary Mitchell.
Dates: June 4-5 at 7 p.m., June 7 at 2 p.m., June 12 at 7 p.m., June 13 at 2 & 7 p.m., and June 14 at 2 p.m. Ticket Prices: Advance sales - $10 regular, $8 students (at the door - $12 and $10) Location: Charlotte Courthouse, 100 W. Lawrence Ave, Charlotte, MI
