The cast features a strong ensemble portraying the 12 jurors tasked with determining the fate of a teenager accused of murder.Actors cast as jurors include Eric Heckert, Amelia Oliver, Rachel Derrig, Nichole Ose, Jennifer Rank, Dane Barner, JT Lahr, Abby Heckert, Mark Andrew, Reba Stein, Kevon Edwards, and Stephanie Hill. Mark Dohms will appear as the baliff.

The production is under the direction of John Marvel, with Anne Blankenship serving as assistant director. Ann McLaughlin is the technical director.

“12 Angry Jurors” takes place entirely inside the jury room as twelve citizens begin deliberations on what initially appears to be an open-and-shut case. As discussion unfolds, jurors are forced to reexamine the evidence, confront personal   prejudices, and wrestle with the moral responsibility of deciding another person’s fate. Tensions rise, alliances shift, and perspectives  change as the group learns that justice requires careful consideration, courage, and an open mind.

Originally writen by Reginal Rose as “12 Angry Men,” the story first appeared as a CBS teleplay before becoming an acclaimed feature film and later a stage presentation. “12 Angry Jurors” is a modern version of the play, adapted to allow for a mixed-gender cast while preserving the original structure, dailogue, and powerful themes that have made it a classic.

The Over the Speed Limit Players

It’s never too late to step onto the stage!

Webster City Community Theatre has launched an opportunity for performers over the age of 55 to partidipate in readers theatre, staged readings, or productions.

The format removes the need to memorize lines or attend multiple rehearsals.

The community was introduced to this new concept at Readers Theatre on January 11th. Loween Getter led the reading of “Fiddler on the Roof Senior.” This senior version created by Music Theatre Internatioanl (MTI) is a shortened version of the popular musical. The script is condensed and not all the verses of the well-known songs are included, but the familiar storyline and characters are all there.

“Fiddler on the Roof Senior” will be performed on March 27 and 28 in conjunction with the Iowa Community Theatre Associaion’s state convention, hosted at WCCT. It is a way for theatres from across the state to be introduced to MTI’s Broadway Senior shows. A workshop on various forms of senior theatre will be held during the convention.

Participants must be at least 55 years of age. 

Additional fun events for the Over the Speed Limit Players will be announced soon. Watch this website, Facebook, and other media for updates.
