The saga of “To Kill a Mockingbird” at Salt Lake City’s The Grand Theatre — and whether Aaron Sorkin’s now-on-Broadway script will be performed there — has reached the cliffhanger moment of the plot.
The issue is whether The Grand can stage Sorkin’s new version of the beloved story, after being forced to cancel its production of an older adaptation.
“We would need to see a copy of the script,” said Seth Miller, executive artistic director of The Grand, on Wednesday. “I don’t know what the show is.”
Miller said Wednesday that he has not yet talked to representatives of Broadway producer Scott Rudin about his offer to let a handful of regional theaters use Sorkin’s new adaptation of the Harper Lee novel.
