CENTERVILLE
CenterPoint Legacy Theatre, 525 N. 400 West, Centerville
From the seminal work of Harper Lee, this adaptation for the stage is a powerful drama following the court proceedings of a black man in Maycomb, Alabama, accused of committing a crime against a white woman. The upstanding Atticus Finch has the arduous task of defending this innocent man. Observing from a different perspective, his children, Jem and Scout, feel it their duty to fight for justice alongside their father. Examining the inner workings of racism, trust and the meaning of being an honorable citizen, “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a dynamic play not to be missed.

PERRY
Heritage Theatre, 2505 S. Highway 89, Perry
Arguably Jane Austen’s most famous work, “Pride and Prejudice” is beautifully adapted for the stage. The drama of high Victorian society married with witty humor leaves audiences swooning for the most riveting courtship in theatrical history. Before the merriment of marriage can begin, however, the proud Elizabeth Bennet must navigate her way around a stifling mother, impetuous sisters and completely unsuitable suitors. Adding to the endless complications, her would-be match, Mr. Darcy has his own flaws to overcome. In the end, true love blossoms when pride and prejudice meet.
Performances: 7:30 p.m. Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays through Feb. 10; 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 27
Tickets: $10-$12 at heritagetheatreutah.com/boxoffice.html or call 435-723-8392
SALT LAKE CITY
Pioneer Theatre Company, 300 S. 1400 East, Salt Lake City
From Grammy winners Steve Martin and Edie Brickell comes “Bright Star,” a musical that tells a tale of love and redemption set in the American South of the 1920s and ’40s. Inspired by a real event, “Bright Star” offers something very different from most of today’s musicals — an Americana musical with picking banjos, barn dances and characters you root for even as fate seems determined to defeat them.
Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Jan. 27; 7 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays through Jan. 25; 2 p.m. Saturdays through Jan. 27
Tickets: $42-$64 at pioneertheatre.org/tickets or call 801-581-6961

Getting on with it.
