PITTSFIELD — Barrington Stage Company, under the leadership of artistic director Julianne Boyd, is holding open auditions for adults and children for Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."
One of the great novels of the 20th century, the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel heralds the fall Mainstage season from Oct. 8 through 26. Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel and directed by Boyd, the play is a story of innocence, courage and what it means to be a family.

The narrator of the story, a grown-up Scout, looks back at her childhood, delivering a powerful message about prejudice, injustice and humanity.
Adults between the ages of 40 to 60 will be seen for a wide variety of roles. Also casting the role of Mayella, a 19-year-old, lonely, poor, overworked girl, afraid to tell the truth. Children's roles are Scout (girl ages 9 to 11), a tomboy, spunky and head strong; Jem (boy 12 to 14) Scout's older brother and protector; and Dill (boy age 9 to 11), Jem's friend, imaginative with a sense of adventure.
