🎭 Meet Hunter, playing the role of Juror 10 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“Hunter is indeed one quirky person. He first got to drama thanks to speech and debate and is now taking his knowledge and using it for this play. You usually see him on his nose against an electronic screen playing a game or watching a show. If you need someone to talk to you about useless facts Hunter is the right guy to go to.

The tenth Juror is one angry fellow. He is always bitter and rude and might be a little biased to the victims due to his ‘kind’ being ‘born liars.’ If you mess with him you'll get the horns.”

Come see Hunter and the SCHS Drama Club perform 12 Angry Jurors on Nov. 21 at 6 PM and Nov. 22 at 2 PM at the SCHS FEMA Building! 🎟️ #SCWeR1

🎭 Meet Libby, taking the stage as Juror 8 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“Back for another play, I, Libby, am here to participate in another amazing performance. I love the arts, I'm creative and enjoy reading books by Micheal Crichton. Originally I used theater as an escape from home life, but now I find it an enjoyable part of my school career.

My role, juror 8, is a kind and respectful soul. They are open to other opinions but also finds the protection of mankind is an important thing. She, while typically remaining calm, is also known to rage-bait others and can read others like a book, determining their character.”

🎭 Meet Christian, bringing his energy and humor to the role of Juror 7 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“Hi, I’m Christian! You’ve probably seen me once or twice wandering the halls. I love joking around with my peers, starting conversations, talking to people, helping others, and getting involved in events. Some of my hobbies include coding and computer programming, gaming, welding, and all kinds of little side projects. Hope to see you soon!

I play Juror 7. This guy is very interesting—he cracks jokes even in a serious situation like a jury. He’s a ‘business guy’ who’s always busy and doesn’t have much time to sit around and dawdle.”

🎭 Meet Hayleigh, taking the stage as Juror 6 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“I'm 15 years old and in 10th grade. I’ve always loved drama and acting—ever since watching the hit musical Hamilton in 2020, I fell in love with theatre. During my freshman year, Ms. Bradshaw forced me to join Drama Club, and I ended up really enjoying it! My first role was as the ‘drama teacher,’ which was so fun because I got to yell at everyone. Outside of drama, I’m in speech and debate, captain of color guard, and I spend most of my time hanging out with my best friend, Madi.”

“My character, Juror 6, is a sassy, no-nonsense type of woman. She hates men, has one daughter, and pretty much hates everyone in the courtroom except herself—because she’s the only one she can handle. All she wants is for the case to be over so she can go home!”

🎭 Meet Owen, who will be taking the stage as Juror 5 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“Owen didn’t find his love for theatre until high school, but once he did—he was hooked. After watching his teacher, Ms. Bradshaw, in One Sweet Kiss, he realized he’d discovered something new that he loved. Outside of theatre, he enjoys playing guitar and channeling the rockers of the ’80s and ’90s. His love of music extends to the moon and back—and now, so does his love of theatre.

My character, Juror 5, is a man born from the slums who has witnessed everything from domestic abuse to knife fights. Sitting on this jury and voting on a young man’s life hits him deeply because he understands what that kid has seen. Juror 5 is quiet until provoked—but when pushed, he can become aggressive fast.”

🎭 Meet Kassidy, stepping into the role of Juror 4 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“I’ve been in love with theatre for as long as I can remember. There’s something about performing in front of an audience that fills me with pure joy. Though that spark faded for a while after some less exciting childhood plays, it reignited in 6th grade when I auditioned for a show that made me fall in love with acting all over again. I’ve been yearning to be on stage ever since, and I’m forever grateful to be part of such an amazing drama program.
Juror 4 is a character focused solely on facts—she’s calm, logical, and one of the only unbiased voices in the jury room. She’s a woman of wealth and composure, with several long monologues throughout the play. I’ve really enjoyed stepping into her character and bringing her to life on stage.”

🎭 Meet Ann, who will be taking on the fiery role of Juror 3 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“I’ve been part of Scott City’s theater department for four years, and it’s been the time of my life! I’ve made unforgettable memories, learned valuable lessons, and gained wonderful experience in public speaking. Outside of theater, I love reading, listening to music, and watching superhero movies. I’m super stoked for my final year and hope to see you at all the upcoming shows!

Juror 3 is a woman with very strong—and often very wrong—opinions. She’s aggressive, rude, and constantly agitates her fellow jurors. It was a fun challenge to take on this role since I’m not typically this hostile in real life. Despite her anger, I have a sort of sympathy for her—it’s almost heartbreaking to see her fury turn into desperation. She’s fascinating to portray, but definitely not someone I’d want to spend much time with in real life!”

We are thrilled and deeply grateful to announce the official launch of the Scott City Elementary Backpack Program. This has been made possible by the incredible generosity of the 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and the 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲!

Their support allows us to honor a true hero: Aden Perry. Aden, a Carnegie Hero Award Recipient, was defined by his noble qualities and bravery, having performed a final, selfless act of kindness.

To celebrate his enduring legacy, the 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 has sponsored 𝟐𝟏 Scott City Elementary students, ensuring they receive backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food for weekends and breaks throughout the entire school year!

The 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 truly embodies its mission to "help those in need." As a special, sweet touch, every child will also receive a packet of Swedish Fish or Watermelon Sour Patch Kids—one of Aden’s favorites—to make these backpacks extra joyful!

Thank you 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 and 𝐀𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, for your powerful act of kindness and for helping us kick off this vital program. We are truly inspired by you!

🎭 Meet Izabel, who will be making her debut as Juror 2 in 12 Angry Jurors!

“I'm a freshman in high school, and I decided to audition because of my love for acting and to help me with public speaking. I’ve always loved acting but never had the chance to be in a play before. I’m so grateful to have gotten the role of Juror 2 and hope to participate in many more plays in the future.

My character, Juror 2, is very shy—I relate to her because I can be really shy at times too. Even though she doesn’t always hold an opinion of her own, she always does what she believes is right.”
