Austin Ferris is a member of the cast & crew of "To Kill A Mockingbird"

2017 Oct 11

Austin Ferris of Willsboro, N.Y. is a member of the SUNY New Paltz cast and crew for the fall 2017 production of "To Kill A Mockingbird."

The story is a bona fide classic, which in many ways is as relevant to our national identity now as it was upon first publication. It tells the story of historical events that rocked the small town of Maycomb, Ala., in 1935, beginning when a black man was accused of raping a white woman.

Atticus Finch, one of the great original characters in all of American fiction, is appointed to defend the accused man, and he and his family become focal points of a difficult tale of poverty, racism, integrity, innocence and loss.

Performances of To Kill a Mockingbird will be given from Oct. 12-14 and Oct. 19-21 beginning at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinee performances on Oct. 15 and Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. All performances will take place in Parker Theatre.

Tickets are $18 general reserve; $16 senior (62+), New Paltz faculty, alumni staff and non-New Paltz students; and $10 for SUNY New Paltz students.
