"It was the first professional production I had ever seen..." said Director Henry Godinez.
The 19-member company features Harry Lennix (as defending attorney Henry Drummond), Alexander Gemignani (fundamentalist attorney Matthew Harrison Brady), Mi Kang (wisecracking reporter E.K. Hornbeck) and Christopher Llewyn Ramirez (small-town educator on trial).
Written in 1955 by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, the play covers the Scopes “Monkey” Trial of 1925, which became a national sensation when a schoolteacher was prosecuted for teaching evolution to his students.
