Freeport Players presents “12 Incompetent Jurors” by Ian McWethy Sept. 13-22 at various venues in the Midcoast area. Enjoy the laughs in this hilarious comedic spoof of “12 Angry Men.”
When a man is accused of stealing six cats, it seems like an open-and-shut case. However, with an oddball jury squabbling over bizarre theories and personal grievances, the situation quickly spirals into hilarious chaos. Despite the clear evidence of guilt, juror #8, an aspiring lawyer, insists the man is innocent. Can she persuade the others or will the jury’s comedic blunders and Juror #3, the only sane voice, lead them to a reasonable verdict?
Cast members are from Freeport, Brunswick, Lewiston, Falmouth, Lisbon Falls and Steep Falls: Shirley Bernier, Phil Chin, Karyn Diamond, Hali Fortin, Nancy Kenneally, Nate Levesque, Peter Nicoll, John Paterson, Mike Powers, David Wallace and Sparrow Wilbur.
