‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ auditions to be held in Jackson

JACKSON, Tenn. — One local group is seeking auditions for an upcoming stage show.

Jackson Theatre Guild is presenting Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” as their Spring production.

Based on the Pulitzer-winning novel, the show is set in small-town Alabama during the Great Depression, and revolves around a young girl named Scout whose father defends a man in a trial that impacts the entire community. The show will be co-directed by Billy Worboys and LOLO.

JTG says roles are available for ages nine and up, and no prior experience is necessary.

Auditions will be held at 2 p.m. on March 4 and 5, upstairs in the old City Hall building adjacent to The Ned at 314 East Main Street.
