Twelve Angry Jurors
 Tickets for the Missouri State Theatre & Dance Production ofTwelve Angry Jurors, directed by Dr. Carol J. Maples, are on sale now! The show will be performed in Coger Theatre from December 4-6, 2008, at 7:30 PM & December 7, 2008, at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $8 (MSU advanced purchase), $12, and $14.
"A murder case falls into the hands of twelve jurors in Twelve Angry Jurors,
by Reginald Rose. Find out how justice conforms to twelve people, and
see how it morphs them into twelve angry people through their own
faults, personal ticks, and histories. A drama set in the clean crisp
lines that nostalgia somehow forgot. Meet these men as they hold a life
in their hands and they rediscover who they are and why they are, even
through the clichés that define them and their time. What would we have
them do to an inner city boy who is accused of stabbing his father to
death?"
Sponsor of the production is Educational Community Credit Union.
Be sure to join us on December 4th, immediately following the show, for our Opening Night Reception in Craig Lobby!
