The FALL SHOW - LHS Theatre Dept
12 ANGRY JURORS
"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." ~Dramatic Publishing

Please choose ONE of those days to audition. Our stage managers will be there to assist you both audition days. No need to sign up - just show up! The order of auditions are first come, first serve. If you need to leave early, let our stage manger(s) know. All auditions are closed auditions and are cold readings. Excerpts of readings will be available before you audition. All material will be available outside of the Green Room after school on both audition days as well as during Club Awareness day and Welcome Soiree on Sept 12. Please only select ONE monologue to read but be prepared and ready if we ask you to randomly read for another juror during your audition.
A kind reminder - When you audition, you audition for the whole play, not just a role. Just because you read for a role doesn't mean that you are auditioning for that role. We want to hear your voice and see you act. Choose a reading that you feel comfortable with.
