SET TING
TIME: 1935
(Please remember this was a time frame far from ours, with language used that today we
deem intolerable. The cast has not entered into the language of the play lightly. It took
discussions with Mr. Rogers to help us come to terms with the word choice. I am proud of
the respect in which they have entered this project and hope that their efforts to make the
world a better place are appreciated by all. )

D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S
For 18 years, I have read To Kill a Mockingbird two times a day, sometimes three, with
my sophomore English classes, and I loved every minute of it! If you do the math, that is
about 36 times, give or take a time or two. My copy of the book was broken in half with
loose pages here and there; some passages were underlined and highlighted so many
times that they were difficult to read. The margins were filled with stars or comments
of how they struck my mind at the time of reading them. Reading that copy of the
book, was like having coffee with an old friend: it had been through a lot with me and
reminded me of what I truly valued and cared about in life.
The thought of doing the production came to me as I was gardening last spring. The
idea truly came out of the blue since I was only pulling weeds and pondering the past
school year. Suddenly, the thought sprung up, “To Kill a Mockingbird! That’s it! That is
our next show!” Maybe it was the violence black men faced that has led to the slogan,
“Black lives matter” that produced the thought or maybe it was Harper Lee’s new book,
Go Set a Watchman that was being published that planted the seed, but something said
this was a show we must do.
There are so many valuable lessons in the book:
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until
you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man
with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin
anyway and see it through no matter what.
“People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.”
“The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.”
To Kill A Mockingbird

D I R E C TO R ’ S N O T E S
c o n t.
“Atticus, he was real nice.”
“Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.”
To name a few.
It is my hope that the cast and crew learned some of these lessons during our rehearsal
process and that the audience leaves with a clearer vision of what is important in life.
Pick up the book again or for the first time! I promise you, when you put it down, you will
be inspired.
Enjoy the show!
