GARDEN CITY, NY — Garden City High School will be holding a production of "Twelve Angry Jurors." Performances will be held at Garden City High School on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 19 at 7 p.m.

Based on the Emmy-winning television movie by Reginald Rose and adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel, "Twelve Angry Jurors" takes audiences into the deliberation room, where a jury will decide on the verdict in a capital trial. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case with all of the jurors ready to declare the defendant guilty— all except for one. As the sole dissenter plants seeds of doubt among her peers, tension ramps up, arguments ensue and the fate of the defendant hangs in the balance.

General admission tickets can be purchased for $12, while student and senior citizen tickets are $10. The Thursday, Nov. 17 performance is free to senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased in advance by visiting gchsny.booktix.com. For more information or group sales, please contact (516) 478-2474.
