Great theatre begins with a great script from a talented writer. Twelve Angry Men is a prime example of a teleplay script which was later enhanced to a movie script and 50 years later a Broadway play. With a story that still rings true for anyone who has ever had to serve on a jury, The American Film Institute recognized the 1957 movie version in its list of Top 100 films ever made. Director Tom Wyatt brings this story to life at DCT, with a slight twist. It has been set in 1981 during the Reagan Administration.

The drama begins after a homicide case has just concluded its closing arguments. The jurors are instructed that they must come up with a unanimous verdict; otherwise the case could result in a mistrial. As the story begins one of the jurors has doubt that the prosecution presented a case beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the other eleven are ready to vote guilty. Since a guilty verdict automatically leads to a mandatory death sentence, the lone juror stands his ground. He combats the others prejudices to guarantee everyone has considered all the facts and gives the young man a fair trial. Tempers flair and the truth comes out.

Director Tom Wyatt has gathered an intense cast: Christopher A. Bagley, Albert J. Boeren, John W. Ford, Jeff Burch, Dave Minges, Bob Sullivan, Thom Eric Sinn, Roger Schulman, Edd Miller, Denis Latkowski, Julio Fernandez, and Allan Herlinger
