West Essex High School to Present 'Jury Room'

The play will run this Friday and Saturday.

The West Essex High School Masquers will perform the suspenseful drama “Jury Room” by C.B. Guilford in the High School Auditorium Friday, October 17, and Saturday, October 18.

In “Jury Room,” 12 jurors gather to decide the innocence or guilt of a young girl. Did she stab her uncle in cold blood? Eleven jurors say yes; one, a student actress, says no. When the jurors agree to her request to re-enact the crime right there, some people begin to lose themselves in their parts. It’s a tense situation, for if the girl did not kill her uncle - who did? The re-enactors become the suspects.

Tickets are $5 students and seniors citizens in advance; $8 at the door; $8 adults in advance; $10 at the door.
