Alhambra High School Presents "Twelve Angry Jurors"

The jury is in session November 13th through 16th at the AHS Performing Arts Building

The Alhambra High School Drama Club is preparing to present Twelve Angry Jurors at the Performing Arts Building on the Alhambra High School campus (150 E Street, Martinez, California) on November 13th, 14th, and 15th at 7 pm and November 16th at 2 pm.

Sherman L. Sergel’s stage adaptation of Reginald Rose’s teleplay, Twelve Angry Jurors follows the deliberations of twelve ordinary citizens tasked with the responsibility of unanimously deciding the fate of a young man charged with the murder of his father. Set in a 1950s New York jury room on a stifling hot summer day, the case appears to be open-and-shut…until one of the jurors dares to cast doubt and question the evidence.

With the death penalty hanging in the balance and the tension rising with the heat, the anonymity of our jurors begins to crumble and a variety of backgrounds, prejudices, and biases are brought to stark light. What began as an impersonal matter becomes a deeply personal one as passion and anger take over.
