Theatrical Performance of 'Inherit the Wind' to be Performed at Borough Hall

The Hudson Shakespeare Company, in association with the Fort Lee Film Commission will give a live performance of 'Inherit the Wind' in the courtroom of Fort Lee Borough Hall.

The Hudson Shakespeare Company, in association with the Fort Lee Film Commission, will be presenting a live production of Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee on Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14 at 7 p.m. A free screening of the film will also be presented at the courtroom on Friday, April 12th at 8pm. 

Inherit the Wind dramatizes scenes from the furor that arose in 1925, when John Scopes, a teacher in the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, was charged for teaching students evolution and not the creation story as told in Genesis, the first book of the bible.

The presentation of Inherit the Wind is the first of HSC’s 22nd season of touring plays and the start of the 7th season of touring productions in Fort Lee, NJ. Join us for a free screening of the classic 1960 film Inherit the Wind starring Spencer Tracy - this free screening is on April 12th at 8 pm in the Fort Lee Municipal Courtroom in Borough Hall (309 Main Street).
