Celebrate Father’s Day with a small sampling of some larger-than-life theatre dads.
John Heminges in The Book of Will
John Heminges is not only a loyal friend to William Shakespeare, but a loving husband and doting father to his daughter, Alice. Together they, and a band of merry men — and women — preserve the works of the Bard for generations to come.

Bob Crachit in A Christmas Carol
There is nothing that Bob Crachit wouldn’t do to make his ailing son, Tiny Tim, happy and healthy including working for the cold hearted Ebenezer Scrooge.

Mufasa in The Lion King
Mufsa, King of the Pridelands and father to young Simba, is the epitome of leadership and fatherhood. The wise and fair ruler who leads by example and demonstrates honesty, fairness and respect to his impressionable son.

Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof

Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird
In the courtroom, lawyer Atticus Finch in Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic novel nobly stands against racism in a small town in mid-30s Alabama. At home, and as a widower, he teaches his two young children how to stand up for their beliefs even if they might be the lone voice against a heated mob.
