A Premiere, A Success
On Fathers' Weekend, the Thespians of VES, tmder director G. Gates DeHart, presented Reginald Rose's acclaimed television drama, "Twelve Angry Men." In the courtroom drama, Rose elicits the reactions of individuals when they find themselves thrown into a group of strangers.

The remainder of the play shows how Juror Eight methodically convinces the remaining eleven jurors to free the boy despite intense antagonism from Jurors Ten, Seven, and Three, portrayed by Larry Hancock, Gray Murray, and Clay Ferebee respectively.
