Theatre Baton Rouge’s production of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ continues this weekend

Theatre Baton Rouge’s adaption of To Kill a Mockingbird continues its two-week run this weekend, exploring serious topics ranging from racial inequality to the destruction of innocence.

The 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, written by Harper Lee, tells the story of the Finch family, whose patriarch is defending a black man accused of raping a white woman. Through the eyes of a child, Lee explores the themes of class, social norms and courage in the Deep South.

The show boasts a large cast, with Pete Rizzo, Addie Prochaska and Beau Willis filling the roles of Atticus, Scout and Jem Finch, respectively.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday nights and 2 p.m. Sunday afternoons until Oct. 8, with an additional matinee this Saturday, Oct. 1, at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $25, or $20 for students. To purchase a ticket here or by calling 924-6496. Theatre Baton Rouge is at 7155 Florida Blvd.
