To Kill a Mockingbird

I went to see To Kill a Mockingbird (play) last night at OU. It was awesome! There was a little girl (middle school age 11/12) who played Scout and she was mesmerizing. I was in tears during several parts of the play the actors did such a good job. The guy who played Atticus sounded like Gregory Peck and the girl playing Calpurnia (the maid) looked and sounded a lot like the lady did in the movie. They did almost all of the scenes from the movie including the ones where Atticus kills the "mad dog" and when Scout and Jem are coming home from the fall play (where Scout is wearing the ham costume) and Boo Radley kills Bob Ewell. The courtroom scene was also amazing. I enjoyed it immensely. But then, To Kill a Mockingbird is my all-time favorite book and to have been involved in Augusta's Little Theatre as a teen, I can appreciate what the actors go through to learn their parts and go to school at the same time. It's a good thing I did it as a teen, because NOW I can't even remember what I had for breakfast this morning much less all those wonderful lines!!!! Hahaha
