The Marian Scholars went into NYC for a packed day, starting at St. Patrick's Cathedral followed by a tour of the New York Public Library where the students visited various research rooms and were taught about different aspects of the building from its history to its architecture. The group then attended a performance of To Kill a Mockingbird, starring Ed Harris and several other famous actors, including an actor who performed in American Sign Language. The scholars enjoyed the day, commenting, "I kept hoping the play wouldn't end" and "That was the best play I've ever seen!"
