• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, October 25 at 10:00 pm, "The Originalist" starring Edward Gero and Kerry Warren

  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.

Edward Gero stars as the late Justice Scalia in John Strand’s insightful look at Scalia’s life and legal philosophy. 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; and John Bash, an Assistant to the Solicitor General at the United States Department of Justice.
