PAPA’s Twelve Angry Jurors - quite the hit in the Lake Country

“It’s challenging, provocative and poignant,” Dottie McClain, PAPA

chair, described. “Each character is played with high caliber

presentation, you’d believe you’re actually in that jury room. Detailed

and professional direction.”

Whether you’ve read the play or seen the movie, Twelve Angry Jurors,

is a piece of performating arts that you simply must see.

As the actors and actresses wrap up their rehearsals this week, the

shows will get under way. Performing is the ultimate ‘gift’ of working so

hard at roles, but, those involved with this production have gotten a lot

of ‘gifts’ along the way. They have developed characters that will long

stick with them after the shows are over.

One can tell when watching in the audience that the people on stage

are some of the best. Whether it’s delivering lines with passion or

moving across the stage with conviction, the people involved in

PAPA’s production of Twelve Angry Jurors have truly created a must-

see show.

“Some of the very best actors in Lake Country and two of the best

theater directors in the South have joined forces to produce the

famous play, Twelve Angry Jurors,” Chip Bell posted on Nextdoor. “If

you thought Henry Fonda and Lee J. Cobb were amazing in the

movie, 12 Angry Men, wait until you see this performance!”

Twelve Angry Men is presented on stage at The Plaza for two

weekends in November. Thursday and Friday dates start at 7:30 p.m.
