Islanders
Embracing “Jury Duty” - April 2010

Click photo for larger view.
   The St. Stephen Parish Players are barely keeping up with the ticket requests that are pouring in for Twelve Angry Jurors - the jury room classic that they will stage on April 9, 10 and 11. The Friday evening show featuring a buffet has been completely sold out for over a week and, while tickets remain for the Saturday evening dinner theater performance, they have been selling briskly and that evening is sure to be a complete sellout also. The Sunday afternoon show has the largest seating capacity, so that is where the best chance for seats still remains.
   When asked about the extraordinary level of interest in this production, Karen Conboy of the Parish Players mentioned the familiar, dramatic story and the very interesting cast - almost all well-known Grand Islanders, including Lisa Mazurek as Juror #8 (the role played by Henry Fonda in the television movie), Former Town Councilman Kevin Rustowicz as Juror #3 (the “Lee J. Cobb” role), and Niagara University Theatre Department Chair Sharon Watkinson as Juror #4 (the “E. G. Marshall” role). Also featured in the cast, as Juror #9, is popular Island writer, restaurant reviewer, and actor, Doug Smith.
   The play tells the dramatic story of a jury’s heated deliberations in a shocking murder case, deliberations that take many twists and turns as the individual personalities and prejudices of the jury members are laid bare before the final resolution is reached.
   Directed by attorney and Grand Island resident Jeff Stone, the play will be presented “in the round”, with audience members sitting just a few feet from the jury table around which the action takes place.
   The play will be performed at the St. Stephen School cafetorium on Grand Island. Tickets for the Saturday and Sunday shows may still be obtained by calling Karen Conboy (773-7476) or e-mailing Karen at kikiconboy@aol.com. The April 10 (Saturday evening at 6:00) show is priced at $18 and includes a full sit-down steak roll dinner. The April 11 (Sunday afternoon at 1:00) show is priced at $6. (Scroll down for cast)
