Kentwood Players is participating in the national play reading of Reginald Rose’s drama “12 Angry Men performed by 12 Impassioned Women” over the weekend of April 5-8, 2019. This production will be presented by 12,000 women across the country (at community colleges, law schools, universities, high schools, community and regional theaters, and community centers) who support the need for continuing towards gender equality and parity by using their voices to tell a story, make others think, and motivate others to action.

This classic play speaks to the power one person can have when they speak with conviction in our judicial system.

In the story, a 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut case -until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts.
