Inherit The Wind Tickets

Witness a timeless courtroom clash of science and faith.

Four men in period clothing are on stage. Three sit, one stands, engaging in conversation under a banner with partial text "READ Y". An American flag is visible in the background.

Two actors in a theater performance stand on a circular wooden stage under a banner that reads "Read Your Bible," with a backdrop of buildings and two flags on either side.

About Inherit The Wind

A three-time Tony Award-winning masterwork and “cultural landmark that only seems to grow with relevance” (Los Angeles Times).

Science and religion go head-to-head in this iconic courtroom showdown. A small-town educator’s trial for teaching the theory of evolution becomes a battle royal of wits, wisdom and will for two of the country’s most powerful lawyers. In a bold retelling for today, Goodman Resident Artistic Associate Henry Godinez directs an all-new production of one of the greatest dramas of the 20th century, based on the real-life Scopes “Monkey” Trial of 1925—an “explosive episode in American culture” (New York Times).
