SALISBURY, MD---Atticus Finch, Scout Finch and Boo Radley are names synonymous with American literature.

Salisbury University’s Bobbi Biron Theatre Program is searching for actors to personify these and other classic characters for this semester’s production of To Kill a Mockingbird, the stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 novel. Dr. T. Paul Pfeiffer, co-chair of the Music, Theatre and Dance Department, directs.
