The Jury is a new life-affirming musical about the far-reaching impact of opioid addiction. To further illuminate the issues raised in the show, and to increase awareness of the efforts nationwide to combat addiction and overdose, Theatre Now is partnering with NO OD NY to offer post-show talkbacks February 24th and 25th.
NO OD NY is a non-profit organization that advocates for the creation of stigma-free Overdose Prevention Centers where people who use opioids can access life-saving medical care, connect to social workers and resources within their communities, and be treated with respect. Executive Director Ryan Thoresen Carson will be present for the talkbacks. For more information, visit
The Jury is an new musical with book & lyrics by Casey Kendall and music by Jonathan Bauerfeld. It tells the story of Tess Butler, who has died after a short lifetime of battling opiate addiction and burning bridges. Now, it is up to seven people from her life to come together and decide whether or not she's worth saving. Tess can only bear witness as they reconstruct her life, uncovering secrets, confronting hard truths, and slowly reaching a consensus.
The Jury runs through February 26th at the Jeffrey & Paula Gural Theatre at the A.R.T./New York Theatres at 502 W 53rd St. Talkbacks will take place after the February 24th and 25th performances. Tickets range from $30-$40, and are available for purchase at www.tnny.org or by calling 855-254-7469. Strict COVID protocols will be followed during all performances, including requiring proof of vaccination and mask adherence.
