Company’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ now playing through Dec. 10.
Compassion and Justice
Revisiting themes of com-
passion in justice that are as
resonant today as when the
play was set in the 1930s,
Lakewood Theatre Company
presents the timeless drama
‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’
Set against the backdrop of
Depression-era Alabama, To
Kill a Mockingbird follows the
journey of a young white girl
whose father has been appoint-
ed to defend a black man false-
ly accused of raping a white
woman. This enduring drama
of right, wrong, and all the grey
areas in between, provides a
poignant look at the human
spirit, and the courage it takes
to follow what you think is
right and understand life from
someone else’s perspective.
Performances run through
Dec. 10. The theatre is locat-
ed at Lakewood Center for the
Arts, 368 S. State St. in Lake
Oswego. For tickets and more
information, call the box office
at 503-635-3901 or visit lake-
wood-center.org.
