Congratulations to the Shorewood High School students who were cast in the upcoming fall play, To Kill a Mockingbird.
To Kill a Mockingbird, which takes place in Alabama in the 1930’s, reflects a difficult and ugly time in American history. Thematic issues of racism and segregation are prevalent. To accurately and honestly complete the narrative, the “n-word” will be used in the production. The fact that our society still struggles to truly embrace racial equality symbolizes that our work is not yet done and that Harper Lee’s Mockingbird is as relevant in 2018 as it was in 1960, when the story was published. Our fidelity to the production of this play from the 1930’s does not condone the use of the “n-word,” in any context, for example in music lyrics, friendly banter, or discussions today.
The performances will take place October 11, 12, and 13 at 7 p.m. in the Gensler Theater (SHS Auditorium). Tickets will be available for purchase at the
Shorewood Drama website closer to the performance dates.
