Monroe County’s 2008 Big Read book is “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The kickoff for The Big Read celebration is Friday with the opening of Monroe Community Players’ production of the play based on the book.

You can read Barb Krolak’s write-up about the MCP production here.

You can find all the details of what’s going on with The Big Read at the Monroe County Community College’s page.

And Behind the Headlines will be the place to find Big Read blog chit-chat from The Evening News reporters.

In concert with the kick-off to the Big Read, the Monroe Community Players will perform Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” this weekend at the Meyer Theater. During Monday night’s rehearsal, Norb Nowak, as Atticus Finch (left), confers with his client Tom Robinson, played by Chanzo Tambuzi, in the first courtroom scene.
