GCP veteran Ed Hunter kicks off the last week of "Mockingbird"!EH: I play Walter Cunningham. Walter is a farmer and one of Atticus Finch’s clients. He is too poor and has financial problems so he can’t pay Atticus cash, but barters his goods – turnip greens, smilax and stove wood, to name a few.
GCP Girl: Tell me about some of your previous shows.
EH: Got some time? "My Fair Lady," "The Music Man," "West Side Story," "The Crucible," "Our Town," that’s on stage; and backstage, on "Jane Eyre," "Peter Pan," Oliver!" and "Annie Warbucks," to name a few.
GCP Girl: Why did you audition for this show?
EH: Because it’s a great story with great characters.
GCP Girl: What has been your favorite part of this experience so far?
EH: Working with this wonderful cast. This is an amazingly talented group of people and not one of them has any sort of attitude. From the oldest (which might just be me) to the youngest, they’ve been a joy to work with.
GCP Girl: Why do you think "To Kill a Mockingbird" is such a popular story?
EH: Because it's timeless and speaks to a problem that unfortunately still exists in America today. It forces us to look at ourselves in a mirror, or as Atticus puts it, to “climb into someone else’s skin and walk around for a bit.”
GCP Girl: What do you hope audiences take away from this show?
EH: That deep down we are all the same, we all have the same problems and challenges that go beyond the color of our skin or our heritage.
GCP Girl: What inspires you?
EH: My family and the desire to put on a good show that impacts the audience in a meaningful way.
Thanks, Ed! I hear seats are filling up fast...get your tickets now!
