A cast of 15 Gorge-area players, ranging in ages between 10 and 70, will bring Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" to the stage at the Columbia Center for the Arts on Aug. 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13 at 8 p.m.
Ther will also be a 2 p.m. matinee on Aug. 7.
To Kill a Mockingbird, a play based on Lee's Pulitzer-winning novel and the Academy-Award-winning film, is set in a small town in Maycomb county Alabama in the 1930s. The townspeople are seen through the eyes of Jean-Louise, a young tomboy nicknamed "Scout." The play follows Scout, her older brother Jem and best friend Dill as they try to make sense of the adult world, a world that turns from carefree to ominous and threatening when Scout's father is asked to defend a black man falsely accused of assaulting a white woman.
The childrens' perspective presents a fresh vision of the adult world, often humorous, but also heartbreaking in its exposure of prejudices in a time of deep racial discrimination.
This Plays for Nonprofits production will be donating proceeds to benefit Hood River County Libraries. It is directed by Lynda Dallman, with Kathy Cros as techinical director, and produced by the Friends of the Library.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 seniors and students.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at Waucoma Bookstore in Hood River.
