Twelve Angry JurorsWritten by Sherman L. Sergel from the teleplay by Reginald Rose

Synopsis and SettingThis three-act play begins with a jury deliberating an open-and-shut case of murder and soon becomes a detective story, revealing a succession of clues hinting that the truth may not be as obvious as it first seems. In searching for the truth, each of the jurors is forced to confront their prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.

Director's NotesThe play concerns the deliberations of the jury in a homicide trial. At the

beginning, they are nearly unanimous in believing the defendant, a young boy, is guilty of killing his father. There is a single dissenter, who throughout the play sows a seed of reasonable doubt. First written by Reginald Rose as a teleplay titled Twelve Angry Men, it was presented live on the Studio One anthology television series on September 20, 1954. The drama was rewritten for the stage in 1955 under the same title. In 1957, it was made into a movie starring Henry Fonda. Rose and Sergel wrote several later stage adaptations of the story, including the version we are presenting here. In 2000, the movie Twelve Angry Men was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” It was selected as the second best courtroom drama ever by the American Film Institute.

Twelve Angry Jurors is as relevant today as it was when it was first presented on television 62 years ago. Our American justice system mandates that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and the burden is on the government to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury, consisting of twelve ordinary citizens, decides whether the government has sustained that burden. One room, twelve jurors, twelve different life-styles, twelve different personalities, charged in this case with deciding whether a young man must face the death penalty or be set free. The personalities involved in Twelve Angry Jurors include a cross-section of the American population in the mid-1950s. Although the play was originally written for an all-male cast, the JFed Players has chosen to present a later version with a blend of male and female characters.

DOUBT is the main theme weaving throughout the play. Each and every juror wrestles with the concept of ‘REASONABLE DOUBT.’ Doubt generates questioning. It is the tool used to chip away assumptions, unconscious prejudice, and conscious bias, winnowing out that which is false or unproven, leaving that which is true and certain.

The play is a study in consensus building. Twelve very different personalities come together. They doubt, they discuss, they examine and reexamine the evidence. They reach conclusions through the prisms of their different backgrounds. Some reach those conclusions with great emotion; some with hard logic and analysis, some relying on a belief that others know better; some from great strength and compassion; some from insecurities; some from quiet observation and reflection. This is the stuff of life.

The JFed Players are proud to bring this dramatic production of Twelve Angry Jurors to you, our audience. I am very proud to have the honor to direct this dedicated group. I wish to thank each and every one involved in helping to bring this production to the stage. The JFed Players and supporters are hopeful that this will open up many conversations regarding, justice, bigotry, prejudice, consensus building, the importance of DOUBT and respect for the opinions of others.

A note from the ProducerAs part of the Cultural Arts Program of the Jewish Federation of the

San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, the JFed Players’ mission is to stage productions that increase awareness of Jewish contributions to American theatrical and musical culture. We present works by Jewish authors and composers or that re�ect Jewish themes. Until now, our productions have alternated between comedies and musicals. Twelve Angry Jurors is our �rst dramatic production. Its themes are as relevant now as they were when the production was �rst performed in 1954.

Prejudice, bias and intolerance are all traits intrinsic to human nature since the dawn of mankind. �e environment in which each of us grows up also has a strong in�uence on who we are and how we think about other people, whether based upon fact or not. �e struggle to build a more open, honest and tolerant society, one in which di�erences can be resolved without violence, never ends.

What we see in Twelve Angry Jurors is a microcosm of American society during the 1950s. In this case, we are told that the accused boy is one of “them,” although we are never told exactly who “they” are. But there is always a “them,” someone who is di�erent from us and whom we don’t really know or understand. As they deliberate the fate of the accused, it is clear that each juror, irrespective of educational level or socioeconomic class, has an opinion of the guilt or innocence of the boy, based upon his or her view of “them.”

�is drama is really about us and how we deal with situations in which our preconceptions and identity may be challenged. Do we actually look rationally at those situations? Do we really want to solve the issues? Are we willing to spend the time looking at the facts to come to the truth of what may or may not have happened? Are we willing to acknowledge and subsequently disregard our own personal bias in order to �nd the truth?

What would you do?—Cantor Judy Sofer

It’s Curtains for the JFed PlayersOur Spring 2017 Musical, that is!

�e JFed Players’ Spring Musical for 2017 will be Curtains, directed by Cantor Judy Sofer, with creative input by Joanne Karr. Auditions will take place the week of December 18. �e show is scheduled to open on March 18 with performances through March 26.

Written by Rupert Holmes (“�e Pina Colada Song”), with music and lyrics by Kander and Ebb (known for, among other things, Chicago and Cabaret), the original production opened at the Ahmanson theater in 2006 before opening on Broadway the following year. In the original production, David Hyde Pierce starred as Lieutenant Frank Cio�, a lover of musical theatre who comes in to solve the crime and, hopefully, save the show.

Nominated for 8 Tony Awards in 2007, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score, this show is best characterized as a musical satire of backstage murder mystery plots; a play within a play. As the company is performing their out of town try-out of "Robbin' Hood Of �e Old West," their star is murdered. Quarantined in the theatre during the murder investigation, rehearsals continue with a new star, romances kindle and re-bloom, and it is "curtains" for more company members. �is is a romp through the world of old-fashioned musicals while also giving the audience a convincing “who-dun-it.” �ere are roles of many sizes and of various ages, along with an important ensemble. �is is a show to look forward to, both for actors and audience members alike.

We hope to see you at auditions in December!
