Audience Participates in Murder Trial Drama Under the direction of Newton Neely, the Lambuth Theatre pres- ented an unusual drama in March of 1974, The Night of January 16th. A suspenseful murder trial by Ayn Rand, it included 12 mem- bers of the audience as the jury whose verdict determined the end- ing of the play. Until the jury fore- man ' s pronouncement of the ver- dict, the cast members had no idea which ending would be performed. During the five-night run of the production, one jury found Karen Andre, performed by Marsha Cole- man of Jackson, guilty of the mur- der of her lover Bjorn Faulkner, and four juries judged her not guilty. Above: Marsha Coleman gives her testimony to her attorney, Ken Carroll. Top Cathie Carter finds it hard to testify for her deceased husband during The Night of January 1 6th, as Marc Gowen listens.
