Step inside the jury room for an unforgettable evening of drama, tension, and truth. 12 Angry Jurors is a powerful stage adaptation of Reginald Rose’s classic story that examines justice, prejudice, and the courage to stand alone.

Performed by a talented local cast, 12 Angry Jurors will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first vote to the final verdict.
