By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
Directed by Edward Stern
2000-2001 Mainstage Season
The Story
It’s Dayton, Tennessee, 1925, where a trial of beliefs becomes the trial of the century. When a teacher brings evolution into the classroom, he awakens a nation at war with itself. A pair of towering legal minds draw battle lines: freedom of thought vs. community beliefs, the press vs. the public, science vs. the Bible. Be a witness to the trial and the verdict that would change America forever.
