The run at the Norcross community theatre includes special performances depicting author Harper Lee.
The beloved and society-shaking story of "To Kill a Mockingbird" opens at Lionheart Theatre Co. on April 26 and runs through May 12. Wrapped in warmth and humor, "To Kill a Mockingbird" challenges the social norms of the 1930s in the South—confronting themes of inequality, fairness, honesty, bravery and gender. The original Pulitzer-price-winning novel by Harper Lee is a staple in American classrooms. Atticus Finch, unforgettably portrayed by Gregory Peck in the 1962 Oscar-winning movie, is hailed as an American ideal of quiet strength, fairness, legal integrity and fatherhood. Gwinnett teacher, actress and playwright Joanie McElroy is directing the play. "'Mockingbird' is one of the greatest stories to have come out of one of America’s …

This Friday, March 23, opens Lionheart Theatre's production of "Enchanted April."

Leonardo DiCaprio portrays the man who led the FBI for decades.
He ruled the Federal Bureau of Investigation for decades, nosing around in the private lives of his enemies and friends. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in a Clint Eastwood directed film about the secret life of one of the most powerful men in the United States in the last century -- J. Edgar Hoover "J. Edgar" focuses on those closest to Hoover: mother Annie Hoover (Judi Dench), secretary Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts) and FBI associate director and Hoover companion Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer). DiCaprio as an aging Hoover was a stretch at times. I had a hard time buying the 37-year-old DiCaprio as the old J. Edgar. That aside, the movie does a great job revealing the top cop's obsession with commies and radicals. The movie also portrays Hoover as a man…
