Years ago, I went to a play featuring the Scopes Trial in the courthouse where the trial actually took place in Dayton/Rhea County, Tennessee.

Apparently, it still occurs (although it was cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic....not sure about this year). If I recall, there is a festival during this time that occurs each July in Dayton commemorating the trial, and the play is one of the feature attractions.

It was an amazing experience. Here's a video advertising the play (I am not in any way affiliated with the play or festival!):
