The show itself was well done and very close to the 1962 film. The venue is not well suited for plays due to the acoustics. Up in the balcony there are these two large speaker columns...that they didn't turn on...but they did want to rent you some headphones so you could hear the play. Either rent the headphones, or find a better venue for plays of this sort.

WAY TOO RACIST FOR OUR TIME
It’s not like I haven’t read the book but the racist language wasn’t only over the top but pure hateful speech. We left at intermission but would have left sooner if we were closer to the aisle.
Brilliant acting, amazing set production but completely inappropriate for 2022.

DO WE REALLY WANT TO LAUGH AT RACISM?
Yes, I agree, the acting was superb. However, I was disgruntled by the fact that humor was peppered into the scenes after serious points in a play depicting the racism and white supremacy present at that time and not extinguished today. (The black person who did NOT commit a crime is killed and the white -albeit mentally ill person-has his crime covered up with no trial or consequences. The humor took away from the audience focusing on these serious issues. Did the playwright think we needed to be entertained? Or was the playwright assuming that humor would prevent feelings of white fragility? Society needs to sit with discomfort and tune into what happened in the past and what's happening today, take ownership, and take action and not be laughing at such a serious topic. The playwright missed the mark.

DISAPPOINTED
Although the actors were excellent, the first Act was too busy, too frequent changing of scenery. Second Act better. But what I found most disconcerting was having adults play the children. Not convincing. We sat front row first tier. Several of us had a hard time understanding some of the dialog/ actors muttering. We are not hard of hearing.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
The frequent moving of the sets was distracting. The set could have been designed to have a lot less changes. And the staging itself of the actors was not creative - more like a high school production. With the exception of Jacqueline Williams, Ariana Gayle Stucki, Joey Collins, & Yaegel Welch, the actors could have been from that same high school production where casting is limited.
Very disappointing. Could have been much more creative all around. Just because something is a classic doesn't mean it has to be performed stiff & dry.

BUCKET LIST BUST
My husband and I flew from Georgia. I was so excited to see Richard Thomas and Mary Badham. Both had understudies. 😞My disappointment did not allow me to critique well. Atticus was good. Kids too adultlike. We could hear and see fine on row y.

HARD TO HEAR THE DIALOGUE
To Kill a Mockingbird was a very good play, but I had a hard time understanding a lot of the dialogue. I was sitting two thirds of the way back. I do have mild hearing loss in my left ear, but had an especially hard time understanding Scout....she spoke quite fast, and her voice had a shrillness to it. I especially missed a lot of the humorous lines.
