To Kill A Mockingbird

Thursday, Sept. 29, 7 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 1, 7 p.m.

Sunday, Oct. 2, 2 p.m. matinee

An American stage classic, To Kill A Mockingbird, is being performed by the Pell City Players. The story of a small town in south Alabama in the 1930s, as seen through the eyes of a tomboy named Scout, has touched the hearts of generations. The novel follows Scout; her brother, Jem; and friend, Dill, as they try to make sense of the adult world, a world that turns from carefree to ominous when Scout’s father is asked to defend a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. It is set in the depression, a time of deep racial discrimination. Kathy McCoy, who directs the play, was also the director of the annual production held in Monroeville of To Kill a Mockingbird for 16 years, during which she toured the play nationally and internationally. This performance is being funded by a grant from the Support the Arts License Tag Committee.

Five Southern women whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives. The Dixie Swim Club focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years. The Dixie Swim Club is the story of these five unforgettable women — a hilarious and touching comedy about friendships that last forever.
