By Ian McWethy

Matinee performances on February 17 and February 24 at 2:00 P.M.

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

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 like a dim-witted PR guy, a bickering couple, and a man obsessed with french fries. After all, every scrap of evidence indicts the accused. (I mean so clearly. The man is very, very guilty of stealing cats. Case closed.) And yet, Juror #8, a wannabe lawyer, believes that the “Cat Burglar” is innocent. Will he be able to sway the other jury members? Or will they side with Juror #3, the only sane man in the room? A hilarious parody of 12 Angry Men

Produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.. Performances run weekends from Friday February 1, 2019 through Sunday February 24, 2019 with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission.
