12 Angry Jurors is a compelling drama that explores the immense responsibility placed on twelve ordinary individuals as they deliberate the guilt or innocence of a young man accused of murder. Each juror brings their own experiences, prejudices, and biases into the jury room, where they must navigate these personal influences while working through a life-or-death decision. Originally titled 12 Angry Men, the play has since evolved into gender-neutral productions, allowing any role to be cast regardless of gender. We are excited to bring this timeless and powerful story to life.

Throughout rehearsals, the cast will delve into character development, crafting rich backstories and creating a layered reality for each juror.
