Seeking Cast for "Inherit the Wind" Show

About the project: In the heat of the summer, a small town is thrown into a media circus as it becomes the epicenter of this dramatized retelling of the most important trial of the 20th Century. Tempers flare and accusations fly as two of the most influential figures of their time engage in a battle of wits and wills to ensure that justice is served, in the process charting the course of education for generations to come. Startling contemporary parallels abound in this ageless classic that poses the question: Do we truly have the freedom to think for ourselves?
