Actors Repertory Theatre of Simi presents the classic story To Kill a Mockingbird. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning Southern novel by Harper Lee, this adaptation by Christopher Sergel follows the journey of Scout Finch whose father Atticus has been appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man framed for a crime he did not commit. As the trial progresses, Scout and her brother Jem see their community divided over issues of justice and racism. The tale compels us to take an honest look at our nation's past and our moral responsibility to each other. The production features veteran actor Don Swayze (True Blood) as Atticus Finch and former NFL player Dwight Hicks as Tom Robinson. Learn More

The show started "slow" with songs no one even knew. We thought "meh, not so hot". Then it took off and became a very entertaining fun afternoon. I would have given 5 stars if not for thi first 15-20 minutes. Colley does a great Neil Diamond!Written on Jul 11 2011

The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center is really not a good venue for this performer. It's a small. relatively intimate setting. Some of the rousing Neil Diamond numbers simply fell flat. They worked well at the Greek, but not here.Written on Jul 11 2011
Part of the problem was also that Dean Colley really has zero personality. He sometimes nailed the Neil Diamond sound, but he seemed so uncomfortable as a performer. The band, particularly lead guitar, did a great job.

Dean's version of Neil Diamond sounded very good, but I can listen to a CD and get more excitement. I think there wasn't enough of an audience and he decided to just go through the motions. Same for the band - sounded good but they were playing in their sleep (except the new member, the bass player smiled and swayed with the music). I'd much rather "Fantastic Diamond." Even with his (Australian, English?) accent, he presented much more of Neil's "New York attitude" than Dean. The Arts Center is a great venue that I will will continue to attend and support.Written on Jul 11 2011
