INHERIT THE WIND

Actors with dexterity in language and rhetoric are encouraged to audition. Classical training is a plus but not required.

SEEKING:

DRUMMOND (Male, 45-55, Black, Indigenous, Asian, Middle Eastern, Latino, White). A deeply principled defense lawyer of Chicago origins. Sharp-witted and charismatic with an unwavering commitment to intellectual freedom.

BRADY (Male, 45-55, White or Mixed Race). When Brady speaks, people are drawn to him. There is no doubt of his personal magnetism. A rural, working-class politician and a firebrand for fundamentalism.
