Juror #12 is a slick, bright advertising agent who thinks of humans in terms of percentages, graphs and polls, and has no real understanding of people. He is a bit of a superficial snob, but trying to be a good person. Read on to learn more about Jake, his character, and the “unique” reason he auditioned for the show.

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    I auditioned for this show because I saw a movie a while ago called Jury Duty starring the one and only Pauly Shore. The movie goes like this: Pauly Shore gets called for jury duty and he tries his best to prolong the trial so he can stay in the hotel room instead of at home. Partway through the movie, a fellow juror calls Pauly Shore to ask him what he’s doing prolonging the trial when he’s the only person who’s voting not guilty. To all the other jurors, it’s an open and shut case. Well, during that phone call, unbeknownst to the girl, Pauly Shore is watching 12 Angry Men. He then starts to say lines from the show to try to convince her that there’s a method to his madness. Why did I audition for this show? Well, the few seconds of that movie that played in Pauly Shore’s Jury Duty seemed very compelling. And until they make a stage version of a Pauly Shore movie (my favorite is Encino Man, which would make a great live show, in my opinion) this’ll have to do.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    I play Juror #12. He is a man who very much enjoys his job in advertising. He exudes an air of advertising. He likes to talk about his advertising job a lot. There are several lines in the show about how he is in advertising. There’s is also one line about how he golfs sometimes, which we all know is the game of choice for the corporate elites. Especially those in advertising and sales. I relate to him on some level because he is, arguably, the most laid back of all the jurors. However, for the most part I don’t see too much of myself in the role. I’m not really a golf guy. I’m more of a putt-putt man. And I don’t really like advertisements – I DVR most things I watch so I can skip the commercials. Plus, my aversion to “The Man” makes me highly unlikely to find myself at home in the corporate world. I guess in the sense that we both tend to talk about things that make most of the people in the room roll their eyes we are similar, but not very.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?

    I have several hobbies outside of theater. One could argue I have too many hobbies. I watch a lot of television and movies. I play several instruments including piano, guitar, and the melodica (which of course is like a harmonica, but there’s piano keys on it. So you can form chords and it’s powered by blowing into it like a harmonica). I’m also an avid fan of any show where somebody can be eliminated. So shows like Survivor, Ink Master, Big Brother, VH1 dating shows, really anything where someone gets eliminated every week is up my alley. I also for fun like to solve Rubik’s cubes. I’d say I have around 30ish lying around somewhere.

  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?

    You should come see our show because it has everyone’s favorite things: trials, arguing, courtroom terminology, and advertisement. Just like an episode of Law & Order: SVU. If you like Law & Order: SVU, you’ll like this show.

    12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Camy Sylvestre is Juror #7 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Thank you to everyone who came out to see 12 Angry Jurors last night, we had a great return to the stage after a week off! If you missed it – tonight is your last chance to see this fantastic show! As we finish up our actor spotlights in time for our final performance tonight, first up is Camy Sylvestre, who plays Juror #7. Read on to learn more about her and the character she plays!

IMG_2167

Juror #7 is a loud, flashy, glad-handed salesperson who has more important things to do. She is quick to show temper and equally quick to form opinions on things she knows nothing about – ultimately, she is a bully and a coward.

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    I’ve always loved 12 Angry Men, but as a woman, the opportunity to be in it doesn’t present itself all that often…so I jumped at the chance! I can’t resist juicy, character-driven shows like this, where every single character is complex and interesting. I was also excited to work with first-time director Mack Shaw, who has done a great job!
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to her at all?
    Juror #7 was a challenge for me, because it’s usually such a masculine character…it was hard for me to translate into a more feminine version of how it’s usually played. She’s a pretty terrible person – she’s completely selfish, could not care less about the outcome of the trial, and just wants to get out of there so she can get back to her life. She also has a hair-trigger temper, but conveniently only picks on those she knows won’t try to fight back…whenever actual conflict arises, she hightails it out of the way. She’s all bark and no bite.

    I can’t really relate to her – I don’t really have much of a temper, and I would definitely not be so quick to send a kid to the electric chair. I’m an over-thinker, and #7 is…not. The only things we DO have in common are that we’re both fluent in sarcasm, and we both have tickets to Hamilton.

  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?
    IS there life outside theater? I work in marketing research by day, and when I’m not at work or rehearsal (which is very rare), I like to read, watch trash TV, fall down Wikipedia rabbit holes about art/history/crime/cults/etc., bicycle, and take my awesome basset hound Paulie Walnuts on outdoor adventures.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    This show is always relevant, especially in tumultuous times like these. It’s a strong reminder that everyone, even those we disagree with, has their own story and reason for behaving the way they do. I’m a firm believer that open-mindedness and compassion can save lives, and never is that more on display than in 12 Angry Jurors…there’s a reason it’s such a classic, and it’s because we all have a lot to learn from it.

    Additionally, our cast has great chemistry and has worked really hard to put together a good show. I think we succeeded!

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Qiana Davis is Juror #10 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Today is another twofer for our 12 Angry Juror actor spotlights, and next up is Qiana Davis, who plays Juror #10! Juror #10 is another antagonist to Juror #8, and a complicated character to be sure. Read on to learn more about Qiana and the role she plays!

Qiana

Juror #10 is angry, bitter, and antagonizes almost at sight. She is described as a bigot who places no values on any human life save her own – she has been nowhere, is going nowhere, and knows it deep within. Qiana tells us below how she manages to bring this complex character to life.

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?My interest was initially piqued by the title, and when I read the synopsis on what the play was about I became further intrigued. My first play had a meaty subject about racism and classism within the Black community that dates back to slavery, and here was another play that had similar undertones. Little did I know upon being cast just how close on topic they were, except this time it involved the justice system and racial relations – so relevant to what’s going on today in our society.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    Juror #10 is, in short, a bigot. She is like most bigots in that she is angry, quick to blame societal problems on those unlike herself and thinks she is right in doing so. She discriminates and holds prejudice against those she believes are in a class beneath her. I would like to think that although I’m not a bigot and that I seldom unjustly stereotype others, I – like most of us – do sometimes have bias towards people that are different than me. It is often human nature to be prejudiced in some way, but to be an outright bigot is where Juror #10 and I are nothing alike.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    I’m what you call a Jane of All Trades. I’m a writer (sports, fashion, entertainment mostly), visual artist (painting and drawing), fashion enthusiast, sports fan, and home chef that loves to cook, create, and travel whenever possible. I love to watch movies, especially horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. I also love to read and experience new things/meet new people.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    It seems a lot of people want to be mindlessly entertained without any politics involved. I say why can’t you have both? Although we touch on race relations, the play really is about human compassion and how we can better relate to each without being so quick to judge /condemn someone based on their life being different than ours. It’s educational, makes you think, but you’ll still be entertained. The actors are all talented, work well together and we are looking forward to putting on a good show. You will not be disappointed, so come out and catch the show.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Daniel Shaw is Juror #4 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Happy Friday, friends! The cast of 12 Angry Jurors returns to the stage tonight to kick off their final two performances  – if you missed it last week, be sure to come out to the Michigan School for the Arts tonight or tomorrow at 8pm to catch this fantastic show.

Our first actor spotlight today will focus on Daniel Shaw, who plays the stoic and sensible Juror #4 – read on to learn more about him!

1931393_1138769312801933_8266082403142424292_n
Juror #4 is an individual of wealth and position. The character is a practiced speaker who presents well at all times, and feels a little bit above the other jurors. He is only concerned with the facts of the case, and is appalled by the behaviors of the others. Dan explains how he brings him to life below!

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?It’s a show I’ve been interested in for about 19 years. I saw the movie version, ’12 Angry Men,’ in high school; once in Civics class and again in an English course. It really stuck with me how twelve people who were all male, Caucasian, and similarly dressed were able to stand out so distinctly from each other, especially in black and white. It was also my brother’s first show as a director and I wanted to be a part of it.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    Juror #4 is one of the more driven members of the jury, but the least personally invested. Determined to see that the correct verdict found, but doesn’t care what the verdict is. It’s hard to say how much I have in common with the character because there are a few different ways to interpret him. I play the part as a sort of a parody of myself; coolly arrogant, straight-laced, and humorless.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    I work for Kroger and have been there for almost fifteen years, I’m a big fan of table-top role-playing games, and I’ve been happily married to my husband, Evan, for the past year and a half.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    There’s a reason this show remains so compelling after more than sixty years. It is an excellent courtroom drama with a timeless message and some unexpected humor.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Michaelangelo Burt is Juror #6 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Our off-week flew by – we can’t believe the cast of 12 Angry Jurors will already hit the stage again tomorrow! Be sure to come out this Friday or Saturday (3/31 and 4/1) to see this classic drama brought to life.

Today we’ll spotlight our resident Juror #6Michaelangelo Burt. Juror #6 is typically described as honest, but dull-witted, a man who comes to decisions slowly and carefully. He finds it difficult to create positive opinions, but must listen to, digest, and accept those opinions offered by others that appeal to him most. Read on to get to know more about Michaelangelo and his character!

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
  2. I am not known to be angry very often, so I though that it would be a good experience for me to learn how to express ANGRY. I did take the opportunity to put some anger in a small line or two, but then the director informed me that the line to Juror #3 was to be forceful and annoyed, but not angry. So much for that goal.

    But then Juror #3 kept jumping my sought out cue line cutting my forceful and annoyed comment out of the play. This was making me angry, so I petitioned the director to let me say the line as angry as I was feeling, but he rejected my petition.

  3. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
  4. There is a lot of Divine Providence in casting. I know my character very well because I am him. Confused, indecisive, and swinging from Guilty to Not Guilty like a ship on a stormy sea at times. But like him, eventually coming to the right decision.

  5. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?
  6. I spend a lot of time at a small law firm and when I am not writing briefs, motions, and drafts of stipulated orders, I minister to people fearing going to prison, is there life after bankruptcy, will I ever see my children again, and a score of other calamities.

    Many immobilize themselves worrying that “I should have done this, or I should have done that.” I tell them to stop shouldering on themselves. I tell them that they made good decisions with the best information available to them at that time. Worrying about what they should’ve done is a waste of time creating unnecessary stress in their lives. Worrying about it doesn’t change what is, so relax, forgive yourself, take a deep breath, and enjoy life without shouldering on yourself.

    Then others worry about one million things that might happen. I assure them that 999,999 of those things will not happen. Something will happen, and when we know what it is, then be rested and decide what we are going to do with a clear mind.

    The law firm also publishes 20,000 free copies of a monthly newspaper to every home in the Township. We believe that in every person there is a hero awaiting the call to action. We recently had an Awards Banquet for the paper’s “2015 Man of the Year,” who made national news by assisting in the arrest of an escaped prisoner from jail, and the “2016 Man of the Year,” who heard about the quality of water in Flint and said ‘somebody should do something about that.’ And then he took a deep breath, and said,’Here I am, Lord, what can I do to for the people thirsting in Flint?’ He then passed along his hero blueprint to tens of thousands of people who donated, lifted, stacked and shipped 11 semi trucks with water and sent them to the City of Flint. He also inherited a high school baseball team that rarely won a game. Four years later, after giving them a hero blueprint that they followed to win back-to-back league titles while increasing the team’s GPA from 1.6 to 3.4, he defined the definition of a hero.

    And finally, we gave a memorial to a fallen hero, a policeman who guarded a ‘peaceful protest’ so that they could express their opinion. Then a sniper’s bullet among them pierced the thin veil of peace, killing him. 3,000 attended the funeral, the largest funeral in the history of the Township. We honored him by presenting a plaque to his mother who smiled for the first time since the funeral.

    Our honored guests were given certificates of recognition from the Township Board of Trustees-clerk-treasurer, County Commissioner, State Senator and Representative, Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, and the paper’s plaque.

    I also cantor in the St Vincent de Paul choir and am part of a ministry to help men restore their lives after difficult times.

  7. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
  8. They should come to learn what a responsible juror could do. They should look at details rather than overlook them, and analyze testimony and exhibits rather than making assumptions and prejudicial judgments, it could save a man’s life.

    This is important. In The Crucible, I played Francis Nurse whose wife was falsely accused of witchcraft and was sentenced to death. Then I played Tom Boleyn whose daughter Anne married King Henry VIII, who suffered through a false trial of perjury and false documents ending in a guilty verdict. I told both juries that my wife and my daughter were innocent, but they ignored me. Fearing I could be typecast, I want to be a good juror who does not sentence innocent people to death.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Bob Estes is the Foreman in “12 Angry Jurors”

12 Angry Jurors had a fantastic opening weekend – thank you to all who came to see the show! If you couldn’t make it, not to worry – we’re doing it all over again this Friday and Saturday (3/31 and 4/1), same time and place. Don’t miss it!

We’re only halfway done spotlighting our jurors, so keep it right here to learn more about the other six personalities who make up this fantastic cast! Today we’ll get to know Bob Estes, who plays the Foreman (aka Juror #1).

12705161_10102768337651028_3105306449414504148_n

A Foreman is the head juror, selected to speak on behalf of the rest of the jury. Described in the show as a small, petty individual who is impressed with the authority he carries, the Foreman handles himself quite formally. He is not overly bright, but dogged. Read on to find out how Bob Estes brings this character to life!

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    The movie with Jack Lemmon is one of my favorites, so I thought that I would try my hand at being a part of something great!
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?

    The Foreman is a man who wants to keep order…he isn’t as concerned with the verdict as he is with keeping the proceedings on an even keel. He he struggles vainly to maintain control over these powerful personalities as the group spirals further and further into chaos. I can identify with the man…I understand how painful it its to have to stand impotently aside while a situation fall into disarray with nothing that you can about it. 

  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?
    I love to travel, and have been to a huge number of countries. I also love photography, and I write occasionally. I am a movie buff, and a voracious reader. I believe in the arts, and believe that if we don’t support the arts, we fail to support ourselves.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?

    This is a spectacular show. The cast capture the powerful emotions and justifications of the characters perfectly. This show will remind you of why you support community theater!

Actor Spotlight: Cody Barger is Juror #8 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Our second actor spotlight of the day will focus on Cody Barger, who plays Juror #8 in Pontiac Theatre IV’s production of 12 Angry Jurors. Juror #8 – played famously by Henry Fonda in the 1957 film – serves as the closest thing to a protagonist in the show, and serves as a prime example of a character who sticks to his principles even in the face of true opposition.

16998027_10103626250596608_5456383258233247095_n

Quiet, thoughtful, and gentle, Juror #8 sees all sides of every question and constantly seeks the truth with strength tempered with compassion. Above all, he wants justice to be done, and will fight to see that it is. Read on to learn more about Cody Barger’s approach to this pivotal character!

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?

    I love theater and have been a part of local theaters for quite some time. This show has been one of my personal favorites since I saw the movie. Two of my favorite actors –  Jack Lemmon and Henry Fonda – were in the movie, and when I saw PTIV was putting it up I knew I had to be a part of it. 

  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?

    I play Juror #8. He is a man who just wants to see the right thing done. He stands up for that even when everyone else puts him down for it. I relate to this character greatly. I fight for what’s right when I can and I stand strong when I need to.

  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?

    I have a fairly simple life outside of theater. I love seeing all my friends and enjoy spending time with them. I also have a major love for karaoke, as some people may know.

  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    It’s an amazing show. It’s a classic story of strength in the face of adversity and how one person can make a difference.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Adrian Balinski is Juror #3 in “12 Angry Jurors”

It’s opening night for 12 Angry Jurors! Our cast and crew have worked incredibly hard over the past few months, and it shows. Don’t miss out! Today we will feature two contrasting spotlights, those of the actors who play our [main] antagonist and our protagonist. First up  – Adrian Balinski, who plays Juror #3!

17190800_393290914372305_2966431346130336590_n

Though 12 Angry Jurors contains a number of difficult characters, Juror #3 takes the cake as the main antagonist and near-constant foil to Juror #8. The character is often described as very strong, very forceful, extremely opinionated, within whom can be detected a streak of sadism – not to mention humorless and intolerant of opinions other than his own, and accustomed to forcing his views onto others. But there is a reason for his behavior, which actor Adrian Balinski conveys quite effectively. Read on to learn more about him!

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    I chose to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors because it is intense and should test my skills.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    Juror #3 is ticked off at the world. Things have not gone well all his life and while he is upset, he does not know who to go see. As a result he lashes out at others. He sees any views opposite his an attack against him and views contrary views as a repudiation of his. He has struggled and gained a modicum of success in his life but views everyone as an obstruction to how things should be. He can get along when things go his way, but cannot handle conflict through negotiation. Black and white. No room for waivering. He knows who the enemy is but has trouble defining him.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    I love community theater and have been involved in 25+ shows since 2011. In addition to this role, I have gained a part in You Can’t Take it With You. I sail, make my own wine, am into history, read non-fiction, like jazz and blues and am looking for a dance partner to take ballroom dancing lessons.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    Conflict, conflict resolution, the process of critical thinking and the push and pull of personality are illustrated in this play. It is not a how to do it as much as it’s a here is how it happened.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Justin Digue is Juror #5 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Happy Wednesday, friends! Only two days until 12 Angry Jurors opens – with just one dress rehearsal left, the cast and crew is confident we’ll have a great show to present to you. Today we’ll continue our actor spotlight series with Justin Digue, who plays Juror #5!

Juror #5 is naive, frightened, and young. He takes his obligations in the case very seriously, but finds it difficult to speak up when older jurors have the floor. Nevertheless, he does find his voice throughout the show, and Justin does a great job capturing this transition. Read on to learn more about him!

17191523_10102107528173826_4374354832890375585_n

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    12 Angry Jurors, also known as 12 Angry Men or Women, has been a show I have been interested in performing in for a while. I have always admired courtroom dramas because of the potential for truly tense and dramatic moments to occur. The amount of character development and change that the 12 jurors go though over the course of the show is something unlike any other show I have performed in.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    I play Juror #5, who is the youngest of the jurors. He is a child of a slum neighborhood and has not had many chances in life to get out. He is nervous and timid most of the time, however in the face of bigotry and ignorance, his true temper comes out. I don’t really feel similar to my character, which in turn has created an exciting challenge portraying this part.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    I currently am a sales coordinator at an automotive engineering company in Farmington Hills. I live in Canton, MI so performing shows in Pontiac and Waterford, though it is a little bit of a hike, is worth the experience of performing with such a talented cast. I enjoy playing music, primarily piano and singing.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    If you enjoy an exciting drama filled with anger, denial, acceptance, and a myriad of other emotions, 12 Angry Jurors is the perfect show for you to come see. Watch as this extremely talented cast of dynamic personalities attempts to determine the fate of a boy accused of murder. It surely will be a show you do not want to miss.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!

Actor Spotlight: Dwaine Estes is Juror #9 in “12 Angry Jurors”

Only three days until the first weekend of performances of Pontiac Theatre IV’s 12 Angry Jurors! Our cast has been working hard to present this classic story to you, and we can’t wait for you to see it! Before you do, however, get to know a little more about Juror #9, played by Dwaine Estes!

Dwaine

Juror #9 is often described as a mild, gentle, older person, defeated by life and merely waiting to die. He mourns the days when it would have been possible to be courageous without shielding behind his many years. Dwaine does an incredible job bringing this character to life – read on to find out more about him and why he chose to audition for the show.

  1. Can you tell me a bit about why you auditioned to be a part of 12 Angry Jurors?
    I did this play several years ago. I was Juror #10. But I love the show and was excited to learn we are doing it again.
  2. Tell us a little about the character you play. Do you relate to him at all?
    I play Juror #9. The way he’s written and the way he is usually played is as an old man. I’m not that old. But I do relate to the feeling of being invisible and that no one really knows you’re there.
  3. Tell us about your life outside theater. Do you have any hobbies?
    Yes, I like to paint landscapes and portraits. My ongoing obsession is Marilyn Monroe. I’m not very good at portraits yet. Still working on the skill it takes. But I love doing it.
  4. Why do you think audiences should come see 12 Angry Jurors?
    This play is as relevant now as it was when it was first televised back in the early 60’s. The message of the dangers of going along with the crowd still resonates with the human condition.

12 Angry Jurors will play at the Michigan School for the Arts in Pontiac March 24th, 25th, 31st, and April 1st. All shows begin at 8pm. Tickets are $12 and available here or at the door. More information on our Facebook event here!
