“Twelve Angry Jurors”, adapted by Sherman L. Sergel and based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose, is about a 19-year-old boy accused of murdering his father. The case has been heard and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide this young man’s fate. What begins as an open-and-shut case of murder soon becomes a detective story that presents a succession of clues creating doubt, and a mini-drama of each of the jurors’ prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the people become 12 angry jurors. Their final verdict and how they reach it will electrify audiences and keep them on the edge of their seats. It all adds up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature.
Audiences will be treated to a different style of staging, as “Twelve Angry Jurors” will be performed “in the round”. Limited seating will be on the perimeter of the stage and the action of the play takes place in the center. This staging reinforces the powerful and intimate nature of the story and gives patrons the feeling of being in the jury room deliberating with the jurors.
Under the Direction of Jim McCulloch, the cast and crew include: Student Director-Cally Julson, Lauren Harkness, Caty Strait, Alec Holt, Chris Porcaro, Savannah Boss, Jillian Harkness, Carter Waelchli, Sophie Mayer, Nicole Sedmak, Weston Lema, Stephanie Ordaz, Angie McKelvey, Maggie Jay, Josie Hintz, Emma VanDaele and David Kromholtz
Presented at the Whitewater High School auditorium on February 22-24 at 7:30 pm and the 25th at 2 pm. General admission tickets are $9 for adult, $5 for students. Seating is limited. Call 262-472-8178 for ticket information.

On Saturday, six Whippet wrestlers competed in the WIAA Cedar Grove-Belgium Sectional hoping to place in the top three, thus punching their tickets to the WIAA D2 State Wrestling Championships. When it was all said and done, the Whippets have two student-athletes, Tommy Duval (182#) and Tyler Gamble (106#), who have extended their senior seasons one more week.
Jimmy DuVal opened up the day taking care of business with a pin in 1:05. DuVal then defeated his next two opponents to claim the championship. In the finals, DuVal looked very calm and in control throughout winning 9-3. By winning the title, he has earned a bye at the first round of the state tournament and will compete on Friday morning. This is a great accomplishment for DuVal and it marks his second trip to the state competition.
Gamble started off the day with a tough loss to the eventual champion from Jefferson. He bounced back with an 18-3 victory to put himself into the third-place match, which put Gamble against a very tough young man from Chilton. Gamble wrestled his best match I have ever seen. He opened up with a great move to the opponent’s back to build a 5-0 lead. He did not look back and closed out the match winning securing a 9-3 final score.
The state tournament will begin on Thursday night. If you are unable to attend the competition at the Kohl Center, it can be seen by going to Trackwrestling.com.
