Landmark Community Theatre presents the thrilling courtroom drama, “12 Angry Men” October 17th through October 20th. Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, 12 members of a jury decide whether to send an inner-city teen to his death. As the dozen men are sequestered in a locked room, they try to reach a unanimous decision, but one juror casts considerate doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one boy’s fate. Performed in an intimate setting, this play serves as a reflective lens, challenging audience members to confront their ingrained beliefs and compelling them to reevaluate the foundations of justice.
October 17th, 18th, 19th @ 7:30 p.m.
October 20th @ 2:00 p.m.
Admission $28
