Sun. matinee at 3 p.m.

At the local courthouse, 12 men have retired to a room to decide the guilt or innocence of a 19-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing his stepfather after a late night argument. A woman who lives across the way testified she saw the murder take place. An old man who lives downstairs claims to have seen the boy fleeing the scene of the crime.

The final production of the G. B. Community Theatre season will open Friday, April 11 when “Twelve Angry Men” take the stage in a not-to-be-missed courtroom thriller. Performances will be held April 11, 12, 13, 17, 18 and 19. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 8 p.m. The Sunday matinee on April 13 will begin at 3:00 p.m.

To everyone following the courtroom happenings, it looks like an open-and-shut case. But then, a lone juror #8 becomes the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. “Eight” isn’t sure that he is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. He wants to talk. And he becomes the riveting voice who forces the group to question both the evidence and themselves.

On the hottest day of the year, testimonies are re-examined and the murder is re-enacted. As the temperature rises, tempers flare, alliances are drawn and angry words fly as a man's life hangs in the balance.

Directed by Steve Rhodes, “Twelve Angry Men” is based on the of Emmy-award winning drama of Reginald Rose and was adapted to the stage by Sherman Sergel.
