Inherit the Wind

Theatre Artists Studio
4848 E. Cactus Road Scottsdale

A pair of legal giants go head-to-head in Inherit the Wind, a gripping courtroom drama inspired by the historic "Scopes monkey trial," in which a small-town science teacher was put on trial for teaching evolution. Now, Scottsdale's Theatre Artists Studio brings this masterpiece of American theater back to the stage in an exciting new re-staging that highlights the story's themes of tolerance, compassion and an individual's right to think. At a time in American history when we are again called upon to defend fact over bias and fear, this story is for all who desire to think and act for themselves. The play first hit the stage in 1955, but the issues of science versus faith it explores are still amazingly timely.
