12 Incompetent Jurors

A man is accused of abducting half a dozen cats.


The evidence is overwhelming. The case should be open-and-shut.

Unfortunately, the jury is twelve wildly unqualified people who absolutely should not be deciding anything.

12 Incompetent Jurors by Ian McWethy is a fast, fur-filled parody of 12 Angry Men, packed with absurd characters, escalating chaos, and a trial that goes completely off the rails.

Playing March 6–15 at Magenta Theater

A real venue (that contains chairs.)
