It was written by Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the Broadway adaptation for "Mockingbird." The video is narrated by Tony-nominated actor Jeff Daniels.

"Do you remember what it was like before we had to turn the lights off?" he says. "You could have gone a lot of places and you could done a lot of things, but you did this and you came here."

"To Kill a Mockingbird" reopens at the Shubert Theatre on Oct. 5. Daniels returns in the iconic role as Atticus Finch. He will be joined by Tony Award-winner Celia Keenan-Bolger.
