We even found our Calpurnia: a sophomore who quit the Varsity softball team for the spring semester a few days after I did (a small exodus of all the Black women who’d played the spring before). We cast our Scout, our Atticus Finch, and the neighborhood recluse Boo Radley.
But The Director-our white theater director-was determined to put this specific play on.
I was in my sophomore year at Taft, an elite Connecticut boarding school, where students of color-as in everyone, Black, Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indigenous-made up 20-25 percent of the 450-ish person student body. Which was why I knew we were going to have a problem. But much like a Republican presidential candidate or any large city’s police union, To Kill A Mockingbird kind of falls apart without a Black man to scapegoat. In fact, in the original stage adaptation of the book, there are only two Black characters with major speaking roles: Calpurnia, the cook and de facto nanny of the story’s young protagonist Scout and Tom Robinson, the man falsely accused of raping a white woman and being defended by Atticus Finch.
