Harrison High School Playhouse Presents The Classic Drama Twelve Angry Jurors

Harrison High School Students Will Be Directing and Performing in Twelve Angry Jurors.

The Harrison High School’s drama club, HHS Playhouse, is proud to present the classic play Twelve Angry Jurors, by Reginald Rose.

Twelve Angry Jurors is the story about a jury deciding the fate of a young man who has been charged with murder.  Eleven out of the twelve jury members come into the jury room with their minds made up, that the boy is guilty.  Only one man, Juror #8, played by senior Andy O'Rourke, is interested in discussing the case to decide whether or not reasonable doubt exists.

This student production is directed by Chris Morris, a senior at Harrison High School.  Morris has been seen on the Harrison High School stage many times, playing major roles since his freshman year in musicals such as Footloose and 42nd Street, and plays such at Radium Girls and Pygmalion.  He was last seen playing Oberon in this year's HHS Playhouse production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Bella Zangler in the Footlight Players' production Crazy for You.
