Production Information:
A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Jurors holds at its core a deeply patriotic belief in the U.S. legal system. The story’s focal point, known only as Juror Eight, is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal biases. Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the jurors and allows a fuller picture of America, at its best and worst, to form.

The following roles will be cast:
14 Male and Female.  All roles are open.

For Auditions:
Please prepare a 1 ½ to 2 minute monologue from any American realist author: Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, Eugene O'Niel, Edward Albee, Sam Shepard, etc.

The following roles will be cast:
ONE WOMAN’S ROLE,  Sabine, a lively soubrette.

- The first two are father roles, the second two young men about town, the last two valets, Cliton is mature and Lycas younger.
