C-SC theatre department presenting ’12 Angry Jurors’

CANTON, Mo. — The Culver-Stockton College Department of Theatre’s production of “12 Angry Jurors” continues tonight and concludes Sunday.

The premise of the play focuses on a 19-year old man who has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. What appears to be an open-and-shut case quickly gains speed as one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. Tensions rise as the verdict begins to turn personal, with each juror revealing his or her own character and prejudices as the various testimonies are re-examined. Based on the award-winning tele-play by Reginald Rose and adapted by Sherman L. Sergel, “12 Angry Jurors” will captivate audiences with its unique set positioning and constant-turning plot. 

Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 3 p.m. on Sunday in the Mabee Little Theatre (Black Box) in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. C-SC students, faculty, and staff can reserve their free tickets tickets on the MyCulver home page following the Get Your Theatre Tickets link. Admission for the public is $10 for adults and $5 for non/C-SC students and seniors. 

This production of “12 Angry Jurors” is directed by David Lane, lecturer of speech and theatre education, with production design by Andy Trusley, assistant professor of theatre.  For further information or reservations, contact the fine arts office at 573-288-6346 or finearts@culver.edu.
