Synopsis
On a hot summer day after a long trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father. The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime but laws in the United States require a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors in order to pass judgment. Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try their best to convince the 1 dissenter to come around to their side. As the evidence is re-examined, however, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of “reasonable doubt”.
12 Angry Jurors is a heightened courtroom thriller that puts you on the edge of your seat while powerfully exploring what it means to live in a democracy.

Audience Votes
We’re asking our audience every night whether they think the boy at the center of the trial is Guilty or Not Guilty. Here are the results:
- First Friday: Not Guilty
- First Saturday: Not Guilty
- First Sunday: Not Guilty
- Second Friday: Not Guilty
- Second Saturday: Not Guilty
- Second Sunday: Not Guilty
- Third Friday: Not Guilty
- Third Saturday: Not Guilty
The votes throughout the run totaled 127/24 in favor of acquittal. That’s roughly 10/2 if it were a 12 person jury. So… it wasn’t a unanimous decision in terms of total votes, but the electoral college, if you will, has unanimously decided THE BOY GOES FREE!
