Scout’s friend Dill, was played with a wise-beyond-his years feistiness by Caden Mitchell (2nd from right); Brendan Dure (left) brought a steady assurance to Scout, as her older brother Jeremy “Jem” Finch. Robert Heinly’s (center) performance as Atticus Finch was in a word, breathtaking. Spot on. Brilliant. Perfect.” – DcMetroTheaterArts

Review in a Nutshell:

‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ at Providence Players of Fairfax by William Powell, DcMetroTheaterArts

Beth-Gilles-Whitehead-Providence-Players-Photo-by-Chip-Gertzog LS — “To Kill a Mockingbird” director, Beth Gilles-Whitehead

“Expertly directed by Beth Gilles-Whitehead, Providence Players of Fairfax’s To Kill a Mockingbird is easily one of the top five shows on D.C. area stages this year, worthy of every accolade and award it may receive.”

“The story was narrated by the stage version of [Harper] Lee and her fictional creation\alter ego Jean Louise “Scout” Finch. Kristin Wahlne created a believable Lee.”

Scout’s friend Dill, was played with a wise-beyond-his years feistiness by Caden Mitchell; Brendan Dure brought a steady assurance to Scout, as her older brother Jeremy “Jem” Finch.”

“Philip Kershaw’s [Tom] Robinson, clad in simple overalls, and sporting a crippled left arm, did much with a role of few words. One of the more telling bits of dialogue for Robinson was his lament during his trial that ‘if you were a nigger like me you’d be scared too.’

“Mayella Ewell, was played with a combination of vulnerability and repressed rage by Ariana Colligan.”

“The elderly, racist Mrs. DuBose, was brilliantly played by Mona Kay Helper.”

“The gossipy neighbors Stephanie Crawford and Maudie Atkinson were well played by Robey Manno and Janet Kohler Dueweke.”

“Mihara India was strong in her scenes as the Finch’s maid, Calpurnia, as was Eric Jones as Reverend Sykes.”

Christopher Crockett plays Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird

“In an unforgettable scene, as the reclusive and introverted Arthur “Boo” Radley, Christopher Crockett conveyed much characterization without saying a word. Crockett’s performance, because of its understatedness, was brilliant.”

“I loved Set Designers Patrick and Ingrid Helvig David’s genius use of scenery wagons that allowed the heavily screen-doored-and-windowed Finch house to revolve and become a jail, and for all of the houses to be rolled off stage to reveal a courtroom. Amanda Ranowsky and Julie Janson’s costume design, was superb.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird is an educational stage gem of the highest luster, fit for young and old, singles and families, and all those who wish to observe and learn from some of the bitter lessons of America’s past.”
