The THS fall play, 12 Angry Jurors<\/em>, is about to hit the stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be two performances, this Friday (11\/5) at 7:00 and Saturday (11\/6) at 5:00 at the Trumbull High Auditorium. Tickets will be sold at the door: $10 for the general public and $7 for students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

12 Angry Jurors was originally known as 12 Angry Men, a play written by playwright Reginald Rose in 1964. 12 Angry Jurors just allows for a more gender-inclusive cast than seen in the original story. The play has been performed in theaters all over the world, and was adapted into a movie 1957.<\/span><\/p>\n

The play follows twelve jurors as they deliberate on a murder case, considering the guilt or innocence of the accused teenage boy. Each character brings their own individual history and biases to the jury room, making it difficult for the jurors to come to a unanimous decision. When asked why 12 Angry Jurors was the choice for this year play, student director Nathan Ayotte commented, \u201c<\/span>In a time where social justice has gained traction among young people, as more and more teenagers are developing their own ethos and belief system to deconstruct the world around them, 12 Angry Jurors is a beautiful commentary on the Justice system in American Democracy\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a real \u201cmain\u201d character in 12 Angry Jurors, it\u2019s an ensemble piece with 12 leading roles. This years cast consists of <\/span>freshman Bailey Chapin (Juror 1), freshman Bella Cabral (Juror 2), senior Mia Bekech (Juror 3), senior Issac Lyne (Juror 4), junior Sara Kocinsky (Juror 5), freshman Grace Codd (Juror 6), sophomore Sam Miller (Juror 7), sophomore Nora Watson (Juror 8), junior Bella Mercado (Juror 9), junior Paul Litchfield (Juror 10), sophomore Tim Spillane (Juror 11) and sophomore Medha Bhatnagar (Juror 12).<\/span><\/p>\n

Before receiving their roles, these twelve students had to go through the casting process. They first attended the auditions, where every student who wanted to audition came and performed a monologue. Then they went through two rounds of callbacks, where they had the chance to read and perform scenes from the play before the final cast was set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producing this year’s play has definitely had its challenges, as the directors and actors still have to keep COVID in mind and consider the health of everyone involved. They have to make sure to keep a safe distance between actors at all times, and they have had a limited amount of rehearsal time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The cast and crew have worked hard to make this year\u2019s fall play the best it could possibly be. The THeSpians have prepared for months, and hope to see everyone there for the opening night of 12 Angry Jurors.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
