AUDITIONS Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at 7 p.m. Turner Studio Theatre

To Kill a Mockingbird
Dramatized by Christopher Sergel, from the book by Harper Lee
Produced by Theresa Lauricella
Directed by Maggie Cooper

Clark State Theatre Arts Program seeks actors from the college and community to audition for To Kill a Mockingbird. Please prepare a 1-minute monologue from a contemporary, dramatic play. Headshot and resume preferred. Please pre-register for auditions here. https://forms.gle/HvgkKFmF9oK988FH6

Performances: October 31 – November 9, 2025 | Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. | Sunday at 2 p.m.

Rehearsals will begin mid-September. Note there will be morning matinee performances on Friday, October 31 and November 7.

Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird” opens in a sleepy Alabama town during the Great Depression, where Scout and her brother, Jem, live with their widowed father, Atticus Finch. Reminiscent of a bygone era, the play immerses us in a simpler time as the children play outside in the summer, act out stories and muse about their mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. A seemingly peaceful town begins to crack when Atticus, a lawyer, takes on a controversial case. A timeless work explores the complexities of community and the innocence of youth. ~ Dramatic Publishing
