Upon entering Bay Street, a buzz of excitement and anticipation blanketed the theater. It was 6:50 p.m., and the audience burrowed into their seats, ready to be taken back in time to 1930, when it was a sin "To Kill a Mockingbird."

"I was inspired to create something in an experimental style," said pianist Dani Campos. "We've been calling this piece an 'anti-musical.'"
