Winter Play - Twelve Angry Jurors

Submitted by tyler.lewis on

Students of the Maple Mountain Theatre Department are putting the finishing touches on the MMHS Winter Play, Twelve Angry Jurors.  This play is the stage version of the classic film 12 Angry Men.  The story focuses on a jury room as the 12 individuals debate the guilt of a young man on trial for the murder of his father.  The deliberations reveal the biases and prejudices of the jury members who start out wanting a quick guilty verdict.  A lone juror suggests that the responsibility of those in the room is to look beyond their first impression
