Aux Dog Theatre Nob Hill's TWELVE ANGRY JURORS Begins Today

Aux Dog Theatre Nob Hill presents TWELVE ANGRY JURORS adapted by Sherman L. Sergel based on the Emmy award-winning television movie Twelve Angry Men, the 1954 teleplay by Reginald Rose for the CBS Studio One anthology television series. Twelve Angry Men was also a major motion picture, nominated for several Academy Awards and subsequently enjoyed great success on Broadway.

TWELVE ANGRY JURORS is performed by a mixed cast and is set in the present and begins as the twelve jurors enter a steamy jury room on a blisteringly hot summer day. Their task is to return a verdict against an inner-city youth charged with the murder of his father, where a guilty vote equals a mandatory death sentence. Expectations are that their deliberations will be quick and the vote will be a unanimous one for guilty - until one lone juror dissents and makes this "open and shut case" a debate that exposes individual biases and explores the critical role of the average citizen in our democracy.

This new production is directed by Joann Danella (the director of Love, Loss and What I Wore in the Aux Dog Theatre's 2014 Season) and is stage managed by Marcella Houghton.

The outstanding cast includes:
Angela Littleton Richard Boehler
Jaime Pardo Michelle Boehler
Gail Spidle Teresa Kizziah
Heather Donovan Michael Girlamo
Pete Alden Myles Winter
Noel Pugach Vonna Wittenwith

The show opens June 10th and runs through June 26th, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm in the Aux Dog Main Stage Theatre at 3011 Monte Vista Blvd. NE.
