The third week in March each year Rhea Heritage Preservation Foundation (RHPF) presents a one-hour play, HOW IT STARTED, telling the story of the Scopes Trial, including selections of Clarence Darrow’s interrogation of William Jennings Bryan.
Following the play, students will participate in a lecture/discussion about the trial and the issues involved, then tour the Scopes Trial Museum in the courthouse.
Students and teachers will receive a study guide, including an annotated bibliography for further study about the trial.
The program is free, thanks to support from Humanities Tennessee and Edfinancial Services, but registration is required. Contact us for information about times and dates and to register.
