First responders: choose a moment from To Kill a Mockingbird that struck you either for its sincerity or for its theatricality (in Davis's sense). For your post, try to recapitulate how that moment played out both onstage and in the audience.
This post is meant to move us in the direction of our unit on theatre and the archive and should serve as an opportunity to mine your memory of what happened and how it happened. Please be as specific you can about the choices made to create this moment.
Second responders: after reading the posts of your colleagues, describe how their responses differ or cohere with your own experience.
Speakers: be prepared to talk both about the play--its relation to theatricality, sincerity, identification, catharsis, etc.--and also the relation between theatre and memory and the challenges of capturing the theatrical event.
