12 INCOMPETENT JURORS
by Ian McWethy
April 30-May 3 and May 6-9, 2026
When a man is accused of abducting half a dozen cats, it's a simple open-and-shut case, even for a jury that's filled with oddballs. After all, every scrap of evidence indicts the accused, yet, Juror #8, a wannabe lawyer, believes the "Cat Burglar" is innocent. Can he sway the other jury members? Or will they side with Juror #3, the only sane one in the room? A hilarious parody of 12 Angry Men.
