SivartM Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I had mentioned a while back that I was performing in "Twelve Angry Men" at my school. Our first performance was tonight! We're having another one tomorrow. It went really well! My parents got to come see it as well, so that was really nice. Several people told me that I performed very well; that was a relief! We actually had 9 female and 3 male cast members, so we changed the title to "Twelve Angry Jurors", but other than gender-corrected lines everything was pretty much the same, if you've ever seen the play or movie. I was Juror 5, the nervous young man from the slums. Anyway, I just thought I'd update everyone on how the play went! Please pray for our performance tomorrow night... I hope it goes as well as this one! Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

Dr. Rich Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks for the news SM, I will pray that your performance will shine. The story is a great one for the times we are now living. Interestingly, the theme is about the same as what happened to Jesus. Quote

Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted April 10, 2012 Moderators Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks for the news, Sivart. I came back to C/A just to find out how the play went. Was there good attendance?? Is there any place where it would be shown online [like YouTube or anything]? I would love to be able to see it. Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
SivartM Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 I think there were about 80 the first night and 30 the second, so the performance was much better than we were afraid it would be! My parents recorded the play, but I'll have to talk to the director and see how to go about uploading it. I'll hopefully be able to share it with all of you, though! :) Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

Moderators Kevin H Posted April 10, 2012 Moderators Posted April 10, 2012 Great to hear the news!!! Quote
Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted April 10, 2012 Moderators Posted April 10, 2012 Oh, I'd certainly love to see it. Thanks for telling us about it. I did go to YouTube and found two or three different performances of that play, right there on YouTube. One had Henry Fonda in it; another had Robert Cummings in it [plus several other famous actors of each generation]. It's very enlightening to go through that discussion and see how a group arrives at consensus. (Or not.) Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
