Some day in your future, you just may walk to your mailbox on a perfectly average day and retrieve the mail. Upon flipping through bills and catalogues, your eyes may greet an envelope that is more somber in appearance. Your heart may sink as you skim down the page; you have been summoned for jury duty.
You might be upset about the inconvenience this will cause in your life, and the characters of CSU’s theater production, Twelve Angry Jurors, know how you feel.
Twelve Angry Jurors, directed by Thomas Keating, is the story of 12 very different individuals drawn together to decide the fate of a boy accused of killing his father. After a grueling trial, the ornery group of mismatched jurors is ready to return to their everyday life. “Guilty!” they declare.
However, one man stands against the group. With a shadow of a doubt in his mind, he refuses to condemn a man to death as a matter of convenience. Will the man stand true to his convictions? Or will he break under the pressure of his fellow jurors, giving a unanimously guilty verdict? A man’s life hangs on the answer to this question.
Answers to these questions can be found on Oct. 20 -22 in Lightsey Chapel at 7:30 p.m. Don’t miss the opportunity to support your fellow students and the CSU Players as you enjoy a night of intrigue, suspense and drama.
