12 ANGRY JURORS
Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel

Twelve strangers. One room. A young man's life in the balance. 
The pulse-pounding, edge-of-your-seat legal thriller 12 ANGRY JURORS thrusts the audience into the pressure cooker of a jury deliberation room. At first, the verdict seems obvious—but when one juror begins to question the evidence, simmering prejudices and personal conflicts boil over into a fierce battle of wills. Tense, timely, and gripping to the last word, this modern classic is a riveting study of justice, integrity, and the power of a single voice to stand against the crowd.

November 6–22, 2026Fridays &amp;&nbsp;Saturdays at 7:30pm &amp;&nbsp;Sundays at 2:00pmAdded Performance: Saturday, November 14 at 2 PM Matinee
From the creative minds behind The Book of Mormon and The Drowsy Chaperone.
The Tony Award–nominated Broadway hit THE PROM proves a little glitter can change the world. When Emma, a small-town high school senior, is banned from bringing her girlfriend to prom, a troupe of eccentric Broadway stars swoops in, determined to save the day—and themselves. What follows is a riotous clash of small-town values and showbiz ego, set to a dazzling score filled with infectious songs and high-energy dance numbers. Both hilarious and heartwarming, THE PROM is a celebration of love, acceptance, and being true to yourself. Get ready to laugh, cheer, and leave the theatre singing!
