With all the talk swirling around stem-cell research as well as some school districts across the United States choosing to teach "creationism" , this is a excellent time to present "Inherit The Wind". The play, written in 1955 by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, is a fictionalized account of the 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial", an event that pitted the great arbiters William Jennings Bryant and Charles Darwin against each other in a case that about a Tennessee teacher (Scopes) who taught Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution to his high school students. The Teen Repertory Company of Oddfellows Playhouse, 128 Washington Street, will have 5 performances of "Inherit the Wind" starting with the "pay-what-you-can-preview" at 7 p.m. on Thursday March 26. You can give money or bring a non-perishable for the Amazing Grace Food Pantry or both. Subsequent performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday March 27 and 28 and also April 3 and 4.
