You can catch me soon at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in To Kill a Mockingbird, adapted from Harper Lee’s classic novel by dramatist Christopher Sergel. Rehearsals are underway and I am honored to be making my professional acting debut with such a brilliant team of artists. This production stars Tug Coker as the iconic Atticus Finch and is directed by Quinn Vogt-Welch.

“Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird opens in a sleepy Alabama town in the midst of 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. The facade of the seemingly peaceful town begins to crack when a young black man is accused of a terrible crime. Driven by an unshakeable moral conviction, local lawyer Atticus defends the man in a trial that sends violent waves through the community. Timeless and lingering, this hard-hitting work explores prejudice, compassion and
the courage to do what is right.”
