Growing up With Atticus explores the legacy of To Kill a Mockingbird and the power of art to effect change. Through personal stories, film clips, and live conversation, they reflect on the man behind the role and the values that continue to resonate across generations. Both nostalgic and deeply moving, this event celebrates storytelling, legacy, and the enduring power of empathy.

THE THREEPENNY OPERA
The Threepenny Opera is a sharp and stylish satire that revolutionized musical theatre in the 1920’s by exposing the underbelly of society through the exploits of the charmingly corrupt Macheath. Set to Kurt Weill’s iconic, jazz-infused score, this darkly comic tale of crime, power, and morality blurs the line between respectability and vice. Bold, biting, and theatrically daring, it remains as provocative as ever.
Play by Bertolt Brecht
