| Couldn't Mockingbird have sustained thru the summer? Still a bit baffled. But Kinnear might've been the wrong choice, with zero stage credits and his film career distant at this point. Richard Thomas, the road Atticus, might've kept the Daniels momentum going. But I'm admittedly guessing with no real basis. | |

| I had hoped to see Reed Birney as Atticus. Such a terrific actor should be featured. | |

| I'm not a Richard Thomas fan per se, but he seems like perfect casting for this role and I would have loved to have seen him (if pricing was reasonable). | |

| There was never anything officially said, but Kinnear was out for a lot of what were supposed to have been his first weeks, rumoredly with Covid. That may have been a contributing factor to the "let's just get out for a while." And though the announcement of the close-and-move may have been spurred by Telecharge, it surely had been in the works for some time before, if there was a combination of "we'll have a longer, stronger life in a smaller house" with "someone else wants this big, prime theatre." It all happened suddenly, but I doubt it was sudden to at least some behind the scenes there. And at the time when it all happened, there was a lot less certainty about even a few weeks ahead. A lot of shows were doing the stocking up on coverage, they'd recognized what they needed to get through it—and Mockingbird was one of those—but there wasn't the sense that the worst of it was imminently passing. |

| Hiring extra swings and understudies to get through a time when they could easily have multiple cast members out of any performance, and when the end of that difficulty wasn't clearly in sight. TKAM had hired extra swings as if they meant to ride it out. And then they closed instead. |
