Summary
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia believed that the United States Constitution is the most reliable source for a fair interpretation of the law as it is applied today. He was, in other words, an "originalist." But aren't the laws written over 200 years ago subject to interpretation-or even guesswork? Edward Gero stars as the late Justice Scalia in John Strand's insightful look at Scalia's life and legal philosophy.

An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:

Edward Gero as Justice Antonin Scalia
Kerry Warren as Cat
Harlan Work as Brad

Sound designed by Jeff Gardner, based on an original design by Eric Shimelonis.

Includes a post-show discussion about Antonin Scalia with Nina Totenberg, NPR's Legal Affairs Correspondent; Tara Kole, an entertainment attorney who clerked for Justice Scalia; John Bash, an Assistant to the Solicitor General at the United States Department of Justice; and Tom Goldstein, a Washington lawyer who's argued 38 cases before the Supreme Court.

Directed by Molly Smith. Recorded before a live audience at the Arena Stage, Washington D.C. in June of 2016.
