About the play:
In 1953, after interrogation by the House Unamerican Activities Committee, four university wives meet for their monthly play reading, knowing one of them betrayed the others.
Tonight, their secrets and their deceptions will burst through the veneer of decency they struggle to maintain. This is the night they have chosen to read Medea.

NON COMPETITION ONE ACT
About the play:
12 Angry Jurors is a courtroom drama that takes place entirely in a jury deliberation room as twelve jurors decide the fate of a young man accused of murder.
What seems like an open-and-shut case becomes a tense and heated debate as one juror introduces doubt, and the others grapple with their own prejudices and biases as they re-examine the evidence.
Ultimately, they must come to a unanimous verdict, and the play explores themes of justice, empathy, and the complexities of the American legal system.
Performances
