    Performed by L.A. Theatre Works, it's the summer of 1925 and the place is a sweltering Southern courtroom where the Tennessee vs. John Scopes 'Monkey Trial' took place. The trial challenged the newly passed act banning the teaching of evolution in Tennessee's public schools. This riveting radio theatre performance is based entirely on original transcripts of the famous trial and all its stranger-than-fiction happenings. The performance is just in time for Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of The Origin of Species. Additional Information: Children under 6 are not admitted. No babes in arms or lap sitting is allowed. All patrons must have a ticket, regardless of age.
