New London Theatre announces “12 Angry Jurors” Special Preview – June 4th, 8pm at New London Theatre, Snellville ($8.00) As part of the Gwinnett County Community Theatre Festival at Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville ($15.00) June 12 (8pm) and June 13 (1:30pm) “12 Angry Jurors” is a modern version of the classic 12 Angry Men. It is set in a jury deliberation room where the fate of a young man hangs in the balance of what appears to be an open and shut murder case. Yet there is one juror who believes there might be reasonable doubt. Thus what was thought to be a quick vote and all go home, becomes a debate that will determine whether a young man lives or dies. A room filled with various personalities and backgrounds arguing a subject of great import make this a compelling and enduring drama.

“12 Angry Jurors” is produced by Kathleen Mardis and directed by Laura Patterson. It will be performed as part of the 2nd Annual Gwinnett County Community Theatre Festival, which will be hosted by the Aurora Theatre in June of this year. 12 Angry Jurors will be New London’s first “pocket play” which we perform anywhere in the community, by “pulling it out of our pocket.” It requires the ability to understand multiple blockings for various venues, understudying a second part, willingness to be a part of the crew that sets up and breaks down the set with each performance. This is a dialogue driven piece; dependent solely on the craft of the actors involved.
