Why You Have to See This Show

London Flynn as Jem Finch

 

Since you get to see his talent on stage, let me introduce you to London backstage. He is driven and intelligent. He is always energetically engaged in his playtime. And everything is playtime, whether that be working on a scene or playing video games backstage. He is so much fun to watch because you know he is having so much fun. He has an intelligent mind and enjoys a constant challenge. I take for granted how much London brings to rehearsal. He has taught me so much about the character. He has found the balance between Jem’s affection for his father and his wishes that he could have more from him. I can’t wait for you to see him.

Nathan Klingonsmith as Dill

Nathan Klingonsmith called me a few weeks after being cast because he was scared he wouldn’t be able to memorize his lines in time for the show. (We were opening in 2 months..) He is still a kid, but he wants so much to do well. And he is the best person for the part of Dill. He understands what it is to be at that pivotal age where you still want to imagine and play, but you start to realize that life isn’t always going to be fun or easy. He has a light in his eyes, but in one moment he can convey the heart break of what it is to be a child in an imperfect world.

Raven Flynn as Scout

 

This girl has so many lines! She has to be funny, imaginative, clever, thoughtful, smart, and poignant. And I feel so lucky to have Raven in the cast. She comes in with ideas and a clear understanding of the character and the story, and then when I ask her to try something new, she immediately dives right in. She is a joy to work with. She’s professional, but she’s also still a kid. She has a purse with candy that she likes to carry around and it’s hilarious to watch her sneak a piece of candy, or try to crawl around the stage with her purse. I am perpetually entertained by her antics, and I can’t wait for audiences to see her perform!
