In short What to expect

Step into an immersive courtroom trial. As members of the jury, the power to deliver justice rests entirely in your hands. Debate the case, question the motives and cast your votes throughout the show. Decide who walks free... and who pays the price. This is jury duty like you've never experienced it before.

Program The Deadly Boat Ride

On a summer night, the son of a powerful politician took the wheel of the family's speedboat - an ex-lover and old friends on board. Hours later, one was dead, one in a coma, and the son is facing a murder charge. Was it an act of jealous rage? Or is there far more to this tragedy than meets the eye?

The show was really good I enjoyed it from start to finish!

Really enjoyed it. Maybe a discount for previous attendees would keep us coming back when new cases are litigated.

It was very good! Thought provoking and entertaining! The actors did a great job❤️

Fabulous!!!

This was my first show. I enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed the event.

We really enjoyed the creativity behind the idea and allowing everyone to participate via their IPhone, injecting humor as to how to use your iPhone to enjoy the whole trial. Sharing the results of each vote before continuing with the trial was great-everyone was curious as to how everyone else voted. All 5 actors were terrific-loved when Dylan’s Mom took a run at the Senator! Well done and thanks for an entertaining evening!

An entertaining experience! My husband and I had a really great time. The actors were fantastic, and the drama was so intense at times that it was palpable.

This experience is great! The lawyers judge and defendant and the mom lol were great! The only suggestion I have is showing the evidence that the prosecutor talked about )the three different time that weee mentioned) this would have made her case stonger. I understand that may have been intentional but I want to be challenged when it comes to making a decision of guilty and not guilty! Over all great show! Also I am vaguely describing things ao that I don’t give away plots lol
