‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is a classic reborn in stage adaptation
Richard Thomas plays Atticus Finch in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The Aaron Sorkin adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic novel will be at the Orpheum Aug. 16-21. The play is directed by Bartlett Sher. (Courtesy Orpheum Theatre/Julieta Cervantes)
