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

Good show. I'd actually give it about a 4.5 but if I did that I might discourage some people from going. GO! You'll enjoy it!Written on Aug 08 2011
On the negative side, even though the singers all had individual mikes, I had a bit of a difficult time understanding ALL the words sung by the female singers. But, I think that is typical of female singers....it's a bit more difficult to understand the words of most female singers as compared to male singers.
This venue of The Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center ALWAYS has wonderful shows...and this is one of them!

Description
Book by Lynn Ahrens
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Once On This Island, an enchanting musical fable, tells the story of forbidden love between people from two different worlds. Originally inspired by Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, the Broadway show transports the story to a Caribbean island where social prejudice divides the people. Presented as a "play within a play," a cast of village storytellers, attempting to calm a frightened young child, tell the romantic tale of a peasant girl who saves a rich city boy from death.
