MIHS Drama presents: 

      12 Angry Jurors - written by Reginald Rose

Mercer Island High School Drama is proud to announce its upcoming production of 12 Angry Jurors, by Reginald Rose. This important play takes audiences inside the deliberation room where twelve jurors must decide the fate of a teenage boy accused of murder. As the tension mounts, the jurors confront their own biases and personal conflicts, revealing the complex dynamics that can influence a verdict. 12 Angry Jurors promises to deliver a gripping exploration of justice, prejudice, and the power of reason.

Content warning: References to violence and death. Recommended for audiences 13+. 

Join us for the show on April 24-26 and May 1-3 at 7pm, and April 26 and May 3 at 2pm in the MIHS performing arts center.
