The 7 PM conversation celebrates the upcoming Hartford Stage production of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, which begins performances Feb. 19. Foote, who earned an Academy Award for the 1962 screenplay of the classic novel, is set to discuss his work on the film and his collaboration with original author Lee. Wilson is also the director of Foote's latest play Dividing the Estate, which concluded performances on Broadway Jan. 4. As recently reported, the critically acclaimed ensemble play will transfer to Hartford in May with much of its original cast intact.

A Pulitzer Prize winner for The Young Man from Atlanta, Foote also garnered Academy Awards for his screenplays of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Tender Mercies." His plays include The Carpetbagger's Children, The Trip to Bountiful, The Traveling Lady, The Chase, The Last of the Thorntons and Talking Pictures, among others.

Seating for the conversation with Foote and Wilson is free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information visit www.hartfordstage.org.

The Texas-set dramatic comedy starred Ashley as the family matriarch with Arthur French, Hallie Foote, Penny Fuller, Gerald McRaney, Devon Abner, Pat Bowie, James DeMarse, Virginia Kull, Maggie Lacey, Nicole Lowrance, Jenny Dare Paulin and Keiana Richard.
