The best-loved classic novel of coming of age amidst prejudice is told with
genuine heart and emotional depth. As racial injustice envelopes a smalltown, lawyer Atticus Finch seeks Truth, and his feisty daughter Scout
brings new hope to a community in turmoil. A story as moving and magical
as you could ever hope to find.
Casting Requirements: In order to properly balance university actors as
the adults, we are seeking younger actors to play the three children.
Needed: Two boys and one girl who can easily pass for between nine
and twelve years of age. Jem, the oldest boy, is athletic but slim. Scout,
his tom-boy sister is nine and just as tough as any of the boys - yet kind
and sympathetic to those who suffer. Dill, is a boy with a wild imagination and a more intellectual turn. All three, however, need to be slim
and smaller in build to accentuate youth. Actors who can meet these
physical requirements yet are slightly older would be preferred. Two African American male actors and one female for principal roles. One of
the men is younger, but the other two are middle aged characters. Also,
several added African American actors of both genders are needed for the
courtroom scene. All other characters are ranged in age from early
adulthood to old age. All characters will be taught to use the dialect of
Alabama. No experience is needed - just a desire to work and learn.
