WHAT THE DIRECTOR SAYS – “This famous historical courtroom drama is rich with diverse characters, many with substantial parts and some with small, easy to learn roles. The substantial cast and production staff are hard at work to make this the best anniversary show in our history."
WHAT THE PUBLISHER SAYS – “This play has its genesis in the events of the famous Scopes trial and is one of the most outstanding dramas of our time. The New York Times defines it thusly, ‘The portrait it draws of an explosive episode in American culture . . . remains as fresh as it ever was. One of the most stirring plays in recent years, it retains its folk flavor and spiritual awareness . . . bursting with vitality . . . Literature of the stage!’”
WHAT HISTORY SAYS -- “The early 1920s found social patterns in chaos. Traditionalists worried that everything valuable was ending.
