8-10 pm "L.A. Theatre Works." Tonight it's "The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial" by Peter Goodchild. Directed by Brendon Fox, and starring Edward Asner, John de Lancie, Harry Groener. The Scopes Trial, over the right to teach evolution in public schools, reaffirmed the importance of intellectual freedom as codified in the Bill of Rights. The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing debates over the separation of Church and State in a democratic society-debates that continue to this day.
This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works' Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Major funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, to enhance public understanding of science and technology in the modern world.

Speakers included Joel Salatin, Kathy Ruhf, Gary Nabhan, Gloria Robinson, Wes Jackson, Raj Patel, Gayle Mclaughlin, Anuradha Mittal, Elizabeth Henderson, Eric Holt Gimenez, Reggie Knox and Severine v T Fleming.Through the lenses of history, ecology, political economy and direct experience, the speakers addressed both practical and philosophical aspects of this transition.
