D. O. A.
By Elizabeth Lovely
Based on the Screenplay by
Russel Rouse & Clarence Greene
Synopsis: Frank Bigelow walks into a police station to report a murder: his own. One day earlier, the small-time accountant kissed his girlfriend and secretary, Paula, goodbye and left on a trip to San Francisco with mysterious intentions. Shortly after he arrives, he's invited to join a group of rowdy businessmen celebrating with their clients after a successful market week. After a wild night of drinking at jazz clubs with sexy women, he wakes feeling ill. A doctor and detective arrive to deliver tragic news--Bigelow has been poisoned, and he only has hours left to live. Bigelow frantically searches the city for his killer and the reason he was targeted. Each person he encounters gives him a piece of the story that includes a mysterious suicide, a shady business deal gone wrong, and conniving women. But can he believe anything he hears? Paula desperately searches for answers as Frank phones home with cryptic questions and an ever-increasing sense of doom. Will he unravel the mystery before his time runs out? Will the killer be brought to justice? An adaptation of the 1950s classic noir film, D.O.A. is a swiftly moving thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats including cigar-smoking detectives and gun-toting femme fatales.

Hamlet
By William Shakespeare
Synopsis: A king harboring a dark secret, a prince driven to do the unthinkable, an innocent longing to be loved, and a friend desperate to hold the house together. This 90-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Hamlet, is as accessible to new audiences as it is satisfying to Shakespeare fans.

Twelve Angry Women
Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel
& Based on the Award-Winning Television Movie
By Reginald Rose
Synopsis: A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry jurors.
Breakdown: Actresses, ages 18 to 65 only, no minors
Juror #1 - Responsible for keeping the jury organized, which is her main focus in the play. She is an assistant football coach outside of the jury room.
Juror #2 - A shy bank clerk who takes time to feel comfortable enough to participate in the discussion.
Juror #3 - A small business owner. She proudly says that he started her business from scratch and now employs thirty-four workers. We learn early on that she has a bad relationship with her own son, with whom she is no longer speaking. We are led to believe that this is a contributing factor to her prejudice against the defendant, accused of stabbing his own father. 3rd Juror is the last to be convinced and only changes her mind once she realizes that she is only projecting his feelings about her own son onto the defendant.
Juror #4 - A stock broker. She wears glasses and seems to handle herself with a very serious air. She deals with the facts of the case logically and concretely.
Juror #5 - Works in a Harlem hospital and says that she herself has lived in the slums her entire life. This gives her insight into such details as the use of a switchblade.
Juror #6 - A house painter, she is happy that the case continues as it means she doesn’t have to work, but is hesitant to put a potential killer back on the streets. She sticks up for 9th Juror, an old woman, and seems to be a respectful woman.
Juror #7 - Her main concern in the case is whether or not it will end before her ball game, for which she has tickets. She sells marmalade and is generally indifferent to the case. She changes her vote to “not guilty” simply because the tide of opinion switches, and she wants the deliberations to be over.
Juror #8 - She is the only juror who votes “not guilty” at the first vote. She is discontent with the way the trial was handled and wants them to discuss the evidence in greater detail. Met with much opposition, she continues to advocate for the boy. We learn that she is an architect, by trade.
Juror #9 - An old woman. She respects 8th Juror's passion and sense of justice and quickly comes to her aid and becomes and advocate for the defendant.
Juror #10 - She is one of the most fervent attackers of the defendant. Tactless and fairly bigoted, she condemns the defendant as “one of them” right from the start.
Juror #11 - An immigrant watchmaker. She is very patriotic and talks about how much she loves the American justice system.
Juror #12 - Works for a marketing agency, to which job she refers to often. She seems constantly distracted from the case.
