Event Description:

Inherit the Wind

by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
directed by Art Suskin

Synopsis
The portrait it draws of an explosive episode in American culture, vigorously written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, remains as fresh as it ever was. One of the most stirring plays in recent years retains its folk flavor and spiritual awareness in an Arena Stage production. Bursting with vitality…literature of the stage! — NY Times
A masterpiece. This is the test: to see a play once, twice, three times. And each time to leave the theatre as deeply moved, as enlightened, as lifted up, as magnificently entertained. And as convinced that it is one of the truly great American dramas of this century. — Columbus, Ohio, Citizen

This is the play that has its genesis in the events of the famous Scopes “Monkey” Trial. One of the most outstanding dramas of our time, the portrait it draws of an explosive episode in American culture remains as fresh as it ever was.

Performances are scheduled for March 9, 10, 16, 17, 18*, 23, and 24, 2007. Sunday matinee begins at 2:00 PM and all other shows begin at 8:00 PM. Visit www.olathetheatre.org, call (913) 782-2990, or email talk_to_us@olathetheatre.org for ticket information.
