Olivia Scott is amazing

A big fear of going to see a live drama in which a little girl has a major role is that no little girl could carry the weight of the part.

I went to see To Kill A Mockingbird at Hartford Stage last night, and I recommend that you do too.

The play is spectacular and 12 year old Olivia Scott and Matthew Modine are superb, and lead a very fine cast. Modine makes you forget that Gregory Peck was ever Atticus Finch.

Horton Foote, RIP

The New York Times is reporting that Horton Foote died here in Hartford today.

Foote has been in town for the production of To Kill A Mockingbird, and for the upcoming Dividing the Estate at Hartford Stage.
