The Broadway Players of Fairfield High School will present Twelve Angry Jurors adapted by Sherman L. Sergel on April 28, 29, and 30 in FHS Auditorium. This play examines the workings of jury members as they consider the guilt or innocence of a young man accused of murdering his father. The original Emmy Winning teleplay Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose was written in 1954 when women could not serve on a jury, but the play has been updated so that each role can be portrayed by any gender. Characters have no names; they are identified only by juror numbers 1-12 or by their role in the courtroom: judge, guard, clerk, foreman. Characters are also distinguished by their unique motivations and prejudices which they bring to the jury room as they make this life or death decision.
Cast members include: Jacob Carlson, David Creer, Erin Epperson, Connor Hawkins, Elizabeth Hootman, Allison Hunger, Nicole Hunger, Manon Kermott, Evie Messer, Nora Salek, Felicia Strong, Daisy Trent, and Marcus Trent. The off-stage voices of the Judge and Clerk will be played by FHS speech coach Sam Garles, and student Stage Manager Ella Holderbaum respectively. Student crew members include: Benjamin Bartle, Joseph Clemons, Emma Crandall, Brock Curtis, Alexis Eisenbraun, Mia Gates, Tristen Garretson, Valerie Hernandez, Ella Holderbaum, Seth Johnson, Wyatt Johnson, Olivia Kensel, Stormy Lint, Meara Malloy, Dayton Mauck, Kat Phippen, S Poletti, Moon Sutherland, and Pearl Winheim.
Noel Wotherspoon is the director, assisted by adult volunteers Meshari Alnouri, Tim Roush, and Betsie Wotherspoon.
Showtimes are 7:30 pm on Friday and Saturday and 2:00 pm on Sunday. Admission is $5.00 at the door or free with FCSD activities pass. It is General Seating, and the house will open 30 minutes prior to the performance.
