Truman Theater puts on “12 Angry Jurors”

Truman Theatre’s first production of the year will be “12 Angry Jurors” and will run nightly at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28-30 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 1 in the Severns Theater. When a person’s life is at stake, what constitutes reasonable doubt becomes the most important question. In “12 Angry Jurors,” adapted by Sherman L. Sergel, personalities clash, tempers flare and the clock ticks as 12 people try to come to a unanimous verdict in a murder trial. This tense and enlightening story pits reason against passion, bigotry against fact, and callousness against caring until the very end. Is a young man guilty of murder and deserving of death, or is there a reasonable doubt? Tickets for this play, directed by Jonathan Wehmeyer, can be purchased by visiting boxoffice.truman.edu.
