Repertory East Playhouse presents Christopher Sergel's stage adaptation of Harper Lee's classic 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Depression-era lawyer Atticus Finch struggles against racial prejudice in the rural South as he tries to exonerate a black man falsely accused of rape. Much of the story derives from the perspective of Finch's children, Jem and Scout, who witness the moral and societal issues that plague their town. This timeless tale of the innocence of childhood and the shock of growing up provides a poignant look at justice and the human spirit, as told through the eyes of a young girl learning the mysteries and realities of adulthood. To Kill a Mockingbird remains a stirring portrayal of both racial and family relations of its time that continues to resonate today. Learn More

Written on Apr 13 2011The show was fantastic. We took the whole family and we all were affected - very intense, quality actors, well scripted. Tried to get tickets to go again but it was sold out!

Written on Apr 06 2011The cast did an extraordinary job! Very well done. Very emotional! They really researched their parts and even stayed after the show to answer questions that the audience had.

Written on Apr 05 2011This was a terrific show! The entire cast was wonderful, no exception. The set really gave you the feeling of the cramped quarters. The actors even stayed in character and stayed in the attic during the intermission! Much better than we expected. We'll definitely seek out more shows at the Reperatory East Playhouse.

Description
One of the most poignant stories of the Holocaust, The Diary of Anne Frank, sponsored by The Rubay Family, tells of Anne’s spirit, optimism and nobility as recounted in her famous diary kept during World War II.
In this gripping new adaptation by Wendy Kesselman, newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank, as well as survivor accounts, are interwoven to create a contemporary impassioned story of the lives of people persecuted under Nazi rule. Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination.
“We’re very proud to be able to tell this story,” said the REP’s Artistic Director Ovington Michael Owston. “Its message is timeless, and shows the true character of the human spirit.
The REP will create a Museum of Tolerance aimed at creating a human rights laboratory and educational center that will challenge the Santa Clarita community to understand the Holocaust in both historic and contemporary contexts and confront all forms of prejudice and discrimination in our world today.
