(Associated Press file photo) An offer from Broadway producer Scott Rudin, to let a handful of regional theater companies use a new Aaron Sorkin-written adaptation of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," has sent shockwaves through the theatrical world. The Grand Theatre in Salt Lake City — one of the troupe's who had to cancel a production of an older adaptation, after legal threats from Rudin's production company over licensing of an older adaptation — is considering whether it can take advantage of Rudin's offer.
