By Emily Zulz Activities Reporter

In Jeffrey Lynch's first acting role, he tackled an "aggressive" part in "Twelve Angry Men." The Charleston Community The­ atre's production of "Twelve Angry Men" opened this weekend in Tar­ hie Arts Center to a full house Fri­ day night. Lynch, Eastern's associate dean for the College of Arts and Humanities, described his character, Juror 3, as a "know-it-all" and a "total jerk." But for Lynch, who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., the character was not hard for him to portray. "I know a lot of guys like this," he said. Lynch said anybody brought up in Brooklyn would recognize his character. Lynch was one of 13 characters in the play, which comprised 12 jurors and one guard. The 12 jurors are stuck in a small, hot room until they reach a deci­ sion.
