Michael Boland, Steven Hauck & More Lead TWELVE ANGRY MEN, Opening Tonight at John W. Engeman Theater

The timeless classic of deliberation and consequence, TWELVE ANGRY MEN by Reginald Rose, opens tonight, September 21 at 8:00 p.m. at the John W. Engeman Theatre and runs through November 3, 2013.

The defense and the prosecution have rested. The jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young man is guilty or innocent of murdering his own father. What begins as an open and shut case of murder soon becomes a mini-drama exploring each juror's prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused and each other. Based on Reginald Rose's 1954 teleplay, TWELVE ANGRY MEN won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play in 2005.

The Director, Igor Goldin, returns to the Engeman having previously directed SOUTH PACIFIC. Credits include: YANK (Drama Desk Award nominee), CROSSING SWORDS (winner of NYMF Awards for Excellence in Direction), WITH GLEE (Off-Broadway), THE FOREIGNER, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, ROMANCE ROMANCE, THE SPITFIRE GRILL and THE FULL MONTY. Mr. Goldin was a finalist for the Joe A. Callaway Award for Distinguished Direction. He is a proud member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society (SDC).

The design team for 12 ANGRY MEN includes Jonathan Collins (Scenic Design), RYAN J. MOLLER (Costume Design), Driscoll Otto (Lighting Design), LAURA FREY (Sound Design), Mark Adam Rampmeyer (Make-Up Design and Associate Artistic Director) and MEAGAN MILLER-MCKEEVER (Props Design).
