Director's Message Every now and then a good book, a movie or a play will cut through the day-to-day grind of "get up go to work; come home
go to bed:' It will linger in the recesses of the mind like a fragrant perfume. It provokes thought, challenges preconceived notions, and makes one hunger for more.
During a time when little children were being blown up in churches in Alabama, when officers of the law stood in the doorways of segregated universities, Harper Lee sat down to "do the right thing;' to speak up and out against racist intolerance and injustice. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD still captivates our fancy and reminds us that, "One thing doesn't abide by majority rule-a person's conscience:'
Elise Bryant
Synopsis of Scenes
-Act One-It is dinner time in this depression-era small southern town. The neighbors are coming out to sit on
their porches to enjoy the coolness of the summer evenin& and of course to gossip. The everyday events of this small tO\Vn will soon be disrupted.
INTERMISSION
-Act Two-The temperature in the courtroom is as high as the tension level. Will justice be served, or will injustice
triumph once again?

Ann Arbor Civic Theatre SNAPe SHOT
As the house lights come up at the end of tonigh(s performance of m KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, you will walk away knowing the magic of skilled and talented actors performing their craft. But there is other magic in the theatre-magic backed by technical skills, the hard work and devotion of hundreds of volunteers, frugal budgets, and your contributions.
In the professional theatre world, shows are bankrolled by a producer.
In amateur theatre, generally 40% of expenses are underwritten by public and private donations.
At Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, we are in the extraordinary position of needing to ask our Producer to finance only 24% of our expenses.
And in Community Theatre in Ann Arbor, our Producer is YOU, the theatre-going members of our community!
We take pride in the excellence vve present on our stage. We take exceptional pride in your loyalty and support.
Take this opportunity to join the MeTing family-or to renew your membership in our family-and take pride in what your dollar buys.
• $450.00 and about 400 volunteer hours produces the stage set that transports you to the Maycomb, Alabama of 1935.
• $350.00 buys the cloth and material that designer Chris Reising and her assistants built into this large cast's costumes.
• $10.00 buys the cane which supports Mrs. Dubose's shuffling gate. Like so many of our props, this cane will assuredly appear in scores of future shows.
• $1,600.00, 16% of the total show budget, buys the scripts and the rights to produce the show.
Please help us round out these figures. Your support will keep us in the black, our cast on the stage ... and you in the world of magic!
