Presented with views from all sides, in the Lakewood Playhouse's unique "in the round" seating, this production of "12 ANGRY MEN" will drop you right into the middle of the jury room and the heated debate within!

Reginald Rose's timeless classic American drama about our justice system and the very human, and often difficult, choices that are needed to keep it alive, 12 ANGRY MEN features the Lakewood Playhouse debut of Director VICTORIA WEBB.

The show consists of a true "ensemble" of thirteen Local Actors who are "split right down the middle" with both new, and old faces to the Lakewood Playhouse stage including these actors returning from previous productions: JAMES WREDE (Foreman), JACOB TICE (Juror #2), JOSEPH GRANT (Juror #4), JED SLAUGHTER (Juror #6), BRUCE STORY (Juror #8), MICHAEL DRESDNER (Juror #11) and CONNOR TIBKE (The Guard).

Lakewood Playhouse is proud to introduce the following actors to the theatre: CHRISTIAN CARVAJAL (Juror #3), JAMES CLARK (Juror #5), BOB REED (Juror #7), CURT BEECH (Juror #9), RONNIE HILL (Juror #10) and DENNIS WORRELL (Juror #12).

"How Will YOU JUDGE the Jury?" A 17 year old boy has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut case until one of the twelve jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. A classic, and tense, American drama about the very human part of our judicial system. A Lakewood Playhouse Premier! Parental Advisory: Because of the "heated discussion" in the jury room, some threats of violence may occur.

The Lakewood Playhouse was founded in 1938 and has established itself with theatre that is both intimate and epic. The theatre is located within the Lakewood Towne Center, 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd., Lakewood, Washington 98499. Ticket Prices are $25.00 (General Admission), $22.00 (Military), $21.00 (Seniors) and $19.00 (Students/Educators).
