Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "12 Angry Jurors"
Seeking performers to fill all roles for April production of "12 Angry Jurors". Please see the details below. About the project: Synopsis: Twelve Angry Jurors contemplates the huge responsibility of 12 ordinary people who must decide the guilt or innocence of a teenager accused of murder. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one voice casts doubts and challenges a deeper examination of the facts. In the sweltering jury room each person brings their individual histories, biases, and prejudices to the table as they struggle to reach a unanimous decision that will decide one youth’s fate. Twelve Angry Jurors explores how our actions (or inaction) have consequences. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold reads from the scripts; sides will be provided on site. Casting note: Jurors #3 and #8 will be cast as masculine-presenting individuals; all other roles are open to performers of all backgrounds and gender identities. Performances will be April 10-12 and April 17-19, 2026. See the attachment. If you are interested, please apply.
