TWELVE ANGRY MEN will be cast from both men and women auditioning.   The title will remain TWELVE ANGRY MEN because it has box office recognition.  With the publisher’s approval, lines may be taken from TWELVE ANGRY WOMEN to create a script suitable for casting both sexes.

Currently the director can envision either males or females playing the foreman, Jurors 4, 6, 8, 12 and the guard.  Anything could change depending upon the people who audition.  If you have questions, talk to Leeds Bird at 671-3821.

THE PLOT: The tension is there from the start as 12 jurors try to decide the fate of a young man accused of murder.  “Beyond a reasonable doubt” sounds easy, but not everyone agrees on what is reasonable.  This powerhouse show will be made even stronger by casting both men and women. 
Those auditioning will be asked to read selections from the script. Limited scripts are available for check-out from the theatre office Monday – Friday from 9am to 1pm for a $10 refundable deposit.  Please contact the office Monday through Friday from 9am to 1pm at (989) 893-5555 for more information.
This show contains some adult themes.
