Vol Family Social Unwind with the Center for Student Advocacy, Office of the Dean of Students, and Family Experience team at Maple Hall. Drop in for some fellowship, bowling, and light refreshments as you explore Downtown Knoxville. Registration for this event will open on January 22 at 1:30pm EST. Additional registration is required and space is limited. Inherit the Wind Feel the heat of the courtroom in the sizzling American classic ‘Inherit the Wind’, an explosive drama inspired by the most important trial of the 20th Century, the Scopes Monkey Trial, on its 100th anniversary. As a media circus descends on a small Tennessee town, two of the nation’s most powerful lawyers go head-to-head in the ultimate battle of wits, wills, and the political and religious divide that could be ripped directly from today’s headlines. In a fresh production boldly reimagined for today, the fast-paced drama explores religion, intellectual freedom and the relationship between social norms and law. Visit the Clarence Brown Theatre website or call 865-974-5161 for more information. Discounted tickets are available for Spring Family Reunion registrants.
