Twelve Angry Men March 14, 2010

The weather couldn't be hotter nor the stakes higher in Raven Theatre's winter drama, 'Twelve Angry Men,' directed by Aaron Todd Douglas. Twelve jurors enter the deliberation room to determine the fate of a troubled youth on trial for murder. It's the hottest day of the year and these men are all sure of his guilt... except for one. Can this individual break the mentality of group thought to ensure that the trial is fair or will complacency rule? Raven's production also brings an interracial cast to this powerful American drama, exploring the levels of bias within and between races. Reginald Rose's riveting play challenges all of us to find the personal strength to stand alone in the crowd and see the bigger picture, even in the most unpopular of situations.
