By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee

Inherit the Wind is based upon the real life “Scopes Monkey Trial” of 1925 in Dayton TN. The town prosecuted a high school teacher for teaching evolution, which was against the law in TN until 1967. It is the story of the struggle to uphold freedom of thought and the right to teach and to learn. First staged in 1955, it remains relevant today. As the playwrights noted, “It might have been yesterday. It could be tomorrow.” The large cast has something for everyone - dramatic starring roles, as well as fun, small character parts. Although it’s about a serious subject, there are many moments of comedy as well.
