Twelve Anerv lurors. by Reginald Rose, in- volves the preceedings of twelve jurors deciding the fate of a young man accused of killing his father. As the production opens, it becomes ap- parent that the members of the jury' are confi- dent that it will be an open and shut case. An- gered and shocked by one defiant juror, played by Kim Kleemyer, sides are quickly chosen among those voting guilty or not guilty. The action revolves around Kleemyer and an- other juror, Dianne Unkrich, who compete for the support of their peers while deciding on a verdict. The jurors appear depressed while they change their minds back and forth from guilty to innocent as Kleemyer and Unkrich present their cases. Unkrich pleads for support, but to no avail; she decides to give in as the play closes. The drama touched on a number of issues de- bated in today's society. Because of this serious tone, performers had to study their scripts thor- oughly to obtain depth in meaning and under- standing of character. 1. To the horror of other jury members, Dianne Unkrich, juror 3, demonstrates the correct switchblade procedure to use with Kim Kleemeyer (it 8) as her victim. 2. Stephanie Wells gives her opinion of the case to fellow jurors before discussion begins. X I'm going to kill you! bellows juror 4, Bill Craber, as he and Bob Curney, juror 12, attempt to reconstruct the mur- der. 4. Try-outs are a tedious part of a production, and the con- centration and weariness show on everyone's face. 5. Juror 8, Kim Kleemeyer, makes another point in her favor as she discloses a new piece of evidence. 6. This window, which created a problem is set design, also created a focal point onstage for several decision-torn jurors. Director Dennis M. Doyle Assistant to the Director Nancy A.
