Refresh yourself and be sure to get a copy of the book, available now and read it before we show the movie! Popcorn will be provided; just bring your own drink! And exciting news….originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Be sure to read it too!
