LA Theater Works: the Great Tennessee Monkey Trial January 30, 2009

L.A. Theatre Works presents 'The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial,' featuring Ed Asner, James Cromwell and Marsha Mason. Separation of Church and State. Evolution vs. Creationism. Legal Process vs. Intellectual Inquiry! These are issues that are still debated today, but in 1925 they exploded to the forefront of American thought during the trial of John Scopes in small-town Dayton, Tennessee. The characters at the center of one of the great debates of American society come to life in this magnificent semi-staged production from the country's foremost radio theater group.
