The Southampton Cultural Center will stage “Inherit the Wind,” by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, from Thursday, October 11, through Sunday, October 28.
Based upon the 1925 “Scopes Monkey Trial,” the dramatic play pits a devout three-time Presidential candidate against a free-thinking defense attorney in a legal battle to determine the fate of a school teacher arrested for teaching Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of the Species” to his biology students.
The play will be directed by Michael Disher. The cast of 14 features Daniel Becker, Vincent Carbone, Terrance Fiore, Richard Gardini, Barbara Jo Howard, Deborah Marshall, Matthew Peraza, Tony Peraza, Philip Reichert, Jack Seabury, Stephan Scheck, Amanda Stein, Alan Stewart and Douglas Walter.
Show times are Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. on the stage of The Levitas Center for the Arts at the Southampton Cultural Center. Reservations are encouraged.
Tickets are $22 general admission, $20 for seniors and $12 for students under 21 with identification. Group rates are also available. For tickets, call 287-4377 or visit scc-arts.org.
