Old Courthouse Museum

To Kill a Mockingbird Play

Mockingbird Players

The play, by Christopher Sergel, is performed at the Old Courthouse Museum each spring. Monroeville presented the first stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird in 1991. The Mockingbird Players, a group of amateur actors dedicated to the production, have performed in Israel, England, and Hong Kong, as well as several venues in the United States. Originally performed annually by the Museum, the production was transferred to the Mockingbird Company in 2014.

The stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird is a truly special experience. Performed in the Old Courthouse Museum, it allows attendees an opportunity to transport themselves back to the time of the book's setting. Keeping the tradition of the era, any white male over the age of 18 can be called for jury duty. If selected, he will be asked to sit with the jury during the courtroom scene. PLEASE NOTE: This event is held at the Museum, but you must find tickets and information at the Mockingbird Company website. www.tokillamockingbird.com.
