Watch a first look video of INHERIT THE WIND at Arena Stage, running February 27–April 5, 2026. Based on the real-life Scopes Monkey Trial, the play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee explores a legal battle over science, religion, and intellectual freedom as a small-town case becomes a national debate.

The Acting Company will hold its Annual Gala in New York City honoring director Lisa Peterson. Raúl Esparza will perform and Patrick Kerr will serve as emcee. The benefit supports the company’s touring productions and arts-in-education programs.
