The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial 2009

Launched in 2005, L.A. Theatre Works’ National Touring Program has expanded our mission to provide access to significant works of theatre by audiences nationwide.  From originally commissioned topical docudramas such as The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial and Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers to classic comedies such as Private Lives, L.A. Theatre Works employs a slightly expanded version (which includes costumes and minimal sets) of the same unique live radio theater style performance presented in our regular ten-play The Play’s the Thing live in-performance series at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Featuring first-rate casts and live sound effects, our touring productions have delighted and challenged audiences at civic and university performing arts centers in over 125 small towns and major cities across the nation, providing audiences with an intimate, spontaneous experience rarely felt in traditional theatrical settings.  In addition, L.A. Theatre Works collaborates with our presenting venues and local public radio stations to provide additional community outreach and special programming including one-time broadcasts of the performance, panel discussions with the actors, directors, writers and leading subject experts, and performances for local area high school students.
