Our inaugural production was March 16-18 & 23-25 at the Vergennes Opera House and was a huge success! Loosely based on the Scopes “Monkey Trial” of 1925, Inherit the Wind immortalizes one of America’s first major media frenzies with intensity and passion. The crux of the drama revolves around Bertram Cates, a biology teacher in the small town of Hillsboro, who dares to teach the theory of evolution to his students despite a state law forbidding the teaching of anything other than creationism in public schools. In fact, the play was not intended to depict the trial accurately, but rather to decry the excesses of the Joseph McCarthy era in 1950s politics. LCP’s phenomenal cast featured Rob Demick, John Hasen, Joe Garofalo, Scott Remick, Glen Eastman, Hannah Weisman, Stephanie Gallas, Fred DeCarlo, Eileen Corcoran, Bobi Alper, Mark Ciociola, Dan Greller, Amber Hayes, Ted Housekeeper, Jaye Lindner, Laura Llanos, John Mitchell, Robin Roy, Rachel Ruggles, Jay Stetzel, Jamie Watkins and Ken Wolvington. Tickets for all Little City Players’ productions are $10 general admission and $8 for seniors and youth 12 years and under, and can be reserved through the Vergennes Opera House box office on their website or by calling 877-OPERA. Classic Stitching in Vergennes also serves as an official ticket outlet for our productions. Although tickets may be purchased at the door, advance reservations are strongly recommended… we completely sold out THREE of our SIX shows for Inherit the Wind!! We had to turn people away. Don’t be one of those people. Get your tickets early.
