Kidder, Aliyah Caraballo, Liz Green, Kiera Quealy, Allison Granat, Adam
Kerr, Jeremy Vasquez and Layla Mooradian. The play is being directed by Doug
Pishkur.
A trial is held and a jury must decide whether a 19-year old boy is guilty
or innocent. This one decision could lead to the boy’s death. The boy on
trial is accused of murdering his father by stabbing him with a switchblade
knife.
It seems that “he doesn’t stand a chance.” The evidence includes eyewitness
testimony that does not stand in his favor. As simple conversations turn
into arguments that turn into fights, the juror’s personal prejudices become
clear; biases and weaknesses alter their decision-making. Their anger,
indifference, and unreliable judgments cause them to skew the reality that
they ultimately hold a boy’s life in their hands.
