Theatre AACC returns this season with 12 Angry Jurors opening November 3 at the Robert E. Kauffman Theater, Pascal Center for the Performing Arts. Based on the Emmy Award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose, 12 Angry Jurors is adapted by Sherman L. Sergel and produced by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.

Set in the turbulent 60’s, this drama takes place in a jury room where 12 ordinary people must decide the fate of a 19-year-old boy accused of murdering his violent father. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. The murder is re-enacted, tempers get short, and arguments grow heated. As the play reaches a boiling point, the jurors' final verdict and how they reach it is at the heart of this compelling drama.
