American Monkeys from The New Fortune Theatre Co.

What is American Monkeys: The Scopes Monkey Trial Transcripts, in their first-ever published abridgment, come to life in a world-premiere event this summer! This ain't Inherit the Wind. This here's the Truth of History. "We have done crossed the Rubicon."

What is The Scopes Monkey Trial: A groundbreaking (and timely) moment where science, religion, education, and legislation collided in America's consciousness. More news was reported worldwide about this trial than about any other event in America, including the Civil War.

American Monkeys from The New Fortune Theatre Co. Re-Creates "The World's Most Famous Court Trial" from 100 Years Ago: July 1925-July 2025. Join us to hear the powerful speeches and arguments in the "courtroom," and to enjoy the fair-like celebration of history, humor, and humanity outside on the "courthouse lawn." 

New Fortune believes there should be no cost barrier between the public and this great event, so it is free and open for all to attend.

Donations makes this event, and future New Fortune events, possible for everyone to experience! This is a perfect opportunity to show your support for the arts, education, civic dialogue, open-mindedness, and lifelong (entertaining) learning! Thank you for your support!
