Synopsis of To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em> via LB Playhouse:<\/p>\n

\n

The world never seems as fresh, as wonderful or terrifying, or as good and evil as it does through the eyes of a child. Atticus Finch must teach his children, Scout and Jem, difficult lessons about racial tolerance, violence and prejudice when he goes against the community by defending a young black man falsely accused of a crime against a white woman. One of America\u2019s greatest stories movingly adapted for the stage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To Kill a Mockingbird <\/em>(based on the novel by Harper Lee; adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel) runs on the Long Beach Playhouse Mainstage Theater through November 19. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to http:\/\/lbplayhouse.org\/on-stage\/mainstage-theater<\/a>.<\/p>\n
