Milford Area Players Returns to the Stage with “12 Angry Jurors”
Milford Area Players, winners of the 2013, 2011 and 2008 New Hampshire Theatre Award for Best Production in Drama/Comedy for Community Theatre, are proud to present 12 Angry Jurors, adapted by Sherman L. Sergel from the movie by Reginald Rose, at the Amato Center for the Performing Arts, 56 Mont Vernon Street, Milford, NH, Sep 24th thru Oct 3rd, 2021.
Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, the twelve members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, an inner-city teen. As the dozen jurors try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts considerable 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.
The cast of 12 Angry Jurors includes JoAnn Zall, Susan Abis, Russell Arrowsmith and Roger Hurd of Amherst; Tim Lord, JoAnn Kaplan and Dave Atkinson of Merrimack; Michael Aranda, Maicie Cherry and Melinda Tourangeau of Milford; Andrew Gibson of Manchester; Mike Colena of Hollis; Don Smith-Weiss of Nashua; and Felicity Campbell of Mont Vernon. The play is directed by Tom Partridge of Amherst.
12 Angry Jurors will be staged by the Milford Area Players for two weekends, September 24-26 and October 1-3, with shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm.
General admission tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors (60+) and students. Advance tickets are available online at www.MilfordAreaPlayers.org. Tickets can also be purchased with cash or check at the door. The theater is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible.
