Twelve Angry Men Reno Little Theater in partnership with Hug High School presents Twelve Angry Men by Sherman L. Sergal, Adapted from the television show by Reginald Rose Directed by David Zybert November 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16 at 8:00 pm November 10 and 17 at 2:00 pm 2002 Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company Twelve Angry Men Twelve Angry Men is a primer on what to do and what not to do when deliberating as a jury. At first, only one juror applies the correct legal standard of requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the only juror who will not accept the prosecution’s case at face value. His questions eventually lead a number of other jurors to make a searching inquiry into the facts presented at the trial. But other jurors are not as open minded. One is prejudiced against the defendant because of the defendant’s social background. Another is angry at his son who is the same age as the defendant and votes to convict as an expression of his anger. Another has tickets to a Broadway musical and wants to get a quick conviction and get out of the jury room. We see how each of these attitudes can lead to a miscarriage of justice. The play shows the dynamics of jury deliberations: the anger, the false starts, the personality conflicts, the joint effort and the functioning of several minds together to ferret out the truth. Originally presented on Studio One, CBS. The play is set on a sweltering New York afternoon Summer, 1961 Act I Late Afternoon Ten-minute Intermission Act II A second or two later Ten-minute Intermission Act III Immediately following Act II Director’s Notes There is a fine dramatic tradition of courtroom drama in theater. Plays like Inherit the Wind, Witness for the Prosecution and The Night of January 16th are well known for their compelling stories and characters. What makes Twelve Angry Men unique is its focus on those nameless “peers” who decide the guilt or innocence of the accused. In this production, with a cast of both fresh and veteran faces, and a setting that makes the issues timely, the show plays as well as it ever has. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to lead this cast to the point you see tonight. I hope you enjoy the show as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY THEATRE Biographies Cast Ralph Maldonado (Jury Foreman) is appearing in his first RLT show. He has previously appeared on the Nevada stage as Ernie Cusack in Proscenium Players’s Rumors and as Vassili Aimorgos in The Actory’s Getting Away With Murder. Katherine Cameron Mills (Juror 2) is back on the Reno stage after a four-year hiatus for law school. She was last seen in Gothic North’s Majestic Kid. She was also in Dracula, The Time of Your Life, and Grease for RLT. When not acting, Katherine enjoys teaching children’s dance and growing herbs in her garden. Katherine has never been on a jury, but she can’t wait to spend time in court after she passes the bar. Brian Bass (Juror 3) is performing in his fifth RLT production. You may remember him in last season’s Crossing Delancy and Death in England. This year, he is obviously upset about something. Kirk Gardner (Juror 4) is happy to be a part of this “angry” group. Last season, he played Jack in The Importance of Being Earnest and the title role in Death In England (for which he won the Blythe Award). In real life, he is a CPA for Kafoury, Armstrong, & Co., although he has never won an award for that. Quavail Townsend (Juror 5) is a senior at Hug High School. He plays the trumpet and performs in school plays. This is his first play outside of high school and he is excited to be working with such a fun cast. He hopes to expand his horizons in theater and go to UNR as a theater and music major. He wants to be a teacher. Patrick K. Hughes (Juror 6) wants to thank Dave Zybert for casting him in this play. It has been a lot of fun. This is a great cast and it is very nice to meet new people. Patrick Crabb (Juror 7) played the part of Huck Finn in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in high school. He attended the University of Oregon as a Theater Arts major, and attended Western Oregon State College. He played the Prince of Morroco in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and Mr. Fezzywig in A Christmas Carol. He moved to Reno in 1994. This is his first community theater play and he has enjoyed the experience immensely. Kenneth T. Ostrom (Juror 8) has been in about 28 plays and looks forward to flying to bigger and better adventures. What can be said, some good, some bad. Is Kenneth smart or dumb to be here after all these years. You have to say he is smart then dumb and then smart again; at least we can say he loves to act. The one thing he likes to say is “thank you for seeing the play and hope to see you in other adventures.” Bob Nelson (Juror 9) is a counselor in private practice in Reno. He is also a poet and writer with many published works, including two books. He has performed in several plays in college and in community theater, and has written a poem for several voices which has been performed as a play and as a readers theater. His interests include mountain climbing, go, languages, and fitness. Eliza Warren (Juror 10) moved to Reno in August. She is an English instructor at UNR and in the University of Maryland Distance Education Program. She recently returned from living and working in South Korea for a year. Eliza has appeared as Ernestine in Cheaper by the Dozen. She is new to RLT. Leah Wigren (Juror 11) has never acted before (on stage, that is) but that likely goes without saying. She is an attorney by trade and also enjoys mountain biking and hiking. She jumped out of an airplane a couple of times, but found it hard to breathe way up there. Avery, the cast mascot, is hers. Thanks to the people in this thing—it’s been fun! Laura Hodges (Juror 12) is currently attending college at TMCC. This is her first play, and she dedicates her performance to her mother, Julie Roberts, who passed away on October 4th during the rehearsals for this show. Amber Myrick (Guard and Understudy) is a senior at Hug High School. This is her first RLT play. She finds playing the guard, a serious role, challenging. She hopes to continue in theater after high school and to eventually go professional. Steve Swanberg (Judge’s Voice and Understudy) performed in the Oakland Community Theater. He has lived happily with one woman for eighteen years. Avery (Cast Mascot) is a four-year-old Black Labrador Retriever who served as critic during the rehearsals of this show. The cast saw it as a challenge to keep Avery awake. They did not always succeed. Director David Zybert has wanted to direct "Twelve Angry Men," perhaps the quintessential courtroom drama, for many years. He is pleased with the result. The founder of two theater groups, David has been in the entertainment industry for 40 years, having made his first appearance in a first grade production of Manfred Goes to Town, in which he played Manfred's mother (it was an all boys school). He also wrote and directed the play. He has lost count of the productions since then, but they have included writing, directing and acting in radio, television, film and live theater. During the day, David is the manager of the web design department of Nevada's oldest and largest Internet Service Provider. He loves Reno, his two children, and his Reno family. Reno Little Theater eno Little Theater provides a setting for people of all backgrounds to learn about R live theater. Over the years, RLT has offered adult and grammar-school drama classes, play-writing competitions, a children’s theater, and over 400 on-stage plays. RLT also takes its productions from the main stage to Reno parks and to other Nevada communities. The theater offers a variety of plays each season, from September to June, including musicals, comedy, mystery, suspense, and drama. RLT produced its first play, Three Cornered Moon, at the University of Nevada in 1935, making it Reno’s oldest community theater.

  • Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Ayn
    Who Is Ayn Rand? Ayn Rand Few 20th century intellectuals have been as influential—and controversial— as the novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand. Her thinking still has a profound impact, particularly on those who come to it through her novels, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead—with their core messages of individualism, self-worth, and the right to live without the impositions of others. Although ignored or scorned by some academics, traditionalists, pro- gressives, and public intellectuals, her thought remains a major influence on Ayn Rand many of the world’s leading legislators, policy advisers, economists, entre- preneurs, and investors.

Ayn Rand: An Introduction illuminates Rand’s importance, detailing her understanding of reality and human nature, and explores the ongoing fascination with and debates about her conclusions on knowledge, morality, politics, economics, government, AN INTRODUCTION public issues, aesthetics and literature. The book also places these in the context of her life and times, showing how revolutionary they were, and how they have influenced and continue to impact public policy debates.

  • Three Plays: Night of January 16Th, Ideal, Think Twice Free
    FREE THREE PLAYS: NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH, IDEAL, THINK TWICE PDF Ayn Rand | 304 pages | 20 Apr 2015 | Penguin Putnam Inc | 9780451214669 | English | New York, United States Night of January 16th by Ayn Rand - AbeBooks Set in a courtroom during a murder trial, an unusual feature of the play is that members of the audience are chosen to play the Think Twice. The court hears the case of Karen Andre, a former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The play does not directly portray the events leading to Faulkner's death; instead the jury must rely on character testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty. The play's ending depends on the verdict. Rand's intention was to dramatize a conflict between individualism and conformitywith the jury's verdict revealing which viewpoint they preferred. The play was first produced in in Los Angeles under the title Woman on Trial Ideal it received positive reviews and enjoyed moderate commercial success. Producer Al Woods took it to Broadway during the —36 season and re-titled it Night of January 16th. It drew attention for its innovative audience-member jury and became a hit, running for seven months. Doris Nolanin her Broadway debut, received positive reviews for her portrayal of the lead role. Several regional productions followed. An off- Broadway revival inunder the title Penthouse Legendwas a commercial and critical failure. Think Twice film based on the play was released in ; the story has also been adapted for television and radio. Rand had many heated disputes with Woods over script changes he wanted for the Think Twice production.

  • A Brief Biography of Ayn Rand, Author of Anthem Directions: Read The
    A brief biography of Ayn Rand, author of Anthem Directions: Read the brief biography information for the author of Anthem. How might her life have influenced her writings? Ayn Rand in her 20s Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read and two years later discovered her first fictional hero in a French magazine for children, thus capturing the heroic vision which sustained her throughout her life. At the age of nine she decided to make fiction writing her career. Thoroughly opposed to the mysticism and collectivism of Russian culture, she thought of herself as a European writer, especially after encountering Victor Hugo, the writer she most admired. During her high school years, she was eyewitness to both the Kerensky Revolution, which she supported, and—in 1917—the Bolshevik Revolution, which she denounced from the outset. In order to escape the fighting, her family went to the Crimea, where she finished high school. The final Communist victory brought the confiscation of her father’s pharmacy and periods of near-starvation. When introduced to American history in her last year of high school, she immediately took America as her model of what a nation of free men could be. When her family returned from the Crimea, she entered the University of Petrograd to study philosophy and history. Graduating in 1924, she experienced the disintegration of free inquiry and the takeover of the university by communist thugs. Amidst the increasingly gray life, her one great pleasure was Western films and plays.

  • Ayn Rand's the Fountainhead: Individualism V/S Collectivism
    AYN RAND’S THE FOUNTAINHEAD: INDIVIDUALISM V/S COLLECTIVISM DR. PRADEEP G. SONAWANE Late M. D. Sisode Arts & Commerce College, Nardana. Dist. Dhule (MS) INDIA Ayn Rand was a major intellectual of the twentieth century. Rand always found capitalism and the individualism of the Unites States as a welcome alternative to the corrupt and negative Socialism of Russia. After becoming proficient in English and establishing herself as a writer in the U.S., she became a passionate advocate of her philosophy, Objectivism. Ayn Rand’s philosophy is in Aristotelian tradition. It is emphasized upon metaphysical, empirical reason in epistemology and self-realization in ethics. Objectivism tells about a rational self- interest and self-responsibility, the idea that no person is any other person’s slave. The virtues of her philosophy are principled policies based on rational assessment, productiveness, honesty, integrity, independence, justice and pride. Her political philosophy is in the classical liberal tradition. It emphasizes on individualism. Keywords: Capitalism, Individualism, Socialism, Objectivism, Epistemology, Self-realization, etc. INTRODUCTION Ayn Rand wrote four novels: We the Living (1936), Anthem (1938), The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957). She also published a play, Night of January 16th (1936), one short story The Simplest Thing in the World and seven books of nonfiction. The Fountainhead (1943) is Rand‟s first major professional success. It is a rationale for „selfishness or „egoism as a moral good. It is her best seller in which the difference between human beings whose souls are self-actualized and whose values are all derived not from any inner urgings, but from what others find valuable.

  • Constructing a “Sense of Life”: Ayn Rand's Night of January 16Th from Conception To
    CONSTRUCTING A “SENSE OF LIFE”: AYN RAND’S NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th FROM CONCEPTION TO “DISASTER” Patrick M. Konesko A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Lesa Lockford ii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor During the course of her career, Ayn Rand published a number of landmark novels, plays, and essays that, in many ways, influenced conceptions of the individual spirit, society, and government. With boldly drawn, individualistic characters battling against an oppressive and compromising society, Rand’s writing has inspired many devoted fans and passionate opponents. Even with her notoriety, and the frequent interpretation of her novels, her early work remains largely unexplored. In her play, Night of January 16th, Rand began with a simple goal: to adapt courtroom drama into an exciting and interactive form by including audience participation and frequent ruptures of the fourth wall. As the project began to develop, however, Rand’s work took on a new focus—to attempt, using the audience as the jury for the production, to gauge, and ultimately influence the audience’s “sense of life.” This study begins with in-depth exploration of Night of January 16th from conception to Rand’s ultimate declaration of failure. Then I compare two versions of the script in order to examine Rand’s later changes and updates. Throughout this process I suggest possible motivations for these changes, and their implications on the larger work.
