Important Ticketing Notice:
In our production of 12 Angry Men, seating will be arranged in the round, creating an immersive experience that places the audience at the heart of the action. Seats will encircle the stage, offering an intimate view of the jurors as they deliberate. For those who prefer a more traditional viewing experience, a select number of house seats will also be available, providing excellent perspectives without compromising comfort.
This unique setup invites you to engage with the drama from all angles, enhancing the emotional impact of each moment. Whether you’re seated near the stage or in our house seats, you’ll feel drawn into the intensity of the jury room. Join us for a compelling evening of theater that brings you right into the heart of the conflict!
Note: Stage seating is not recommended for those with mobility needs.
About the Show: A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify your audience and keep them on the edge of their seats—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience you'll be proud to present.
