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?

Fun and interactive. Defense attorney and judge are great actors. Bonus: older fam members learn how to use QR codes via fun video.

We had a great time! Good story line. Great show!

Had a great time with my brother. Love the plot, actors, and overall jury experience!!! Will definitely come see another one when it comes in town.

Brilliant idea for a show! Loved the interactions

Great experience! Loved the duration, interaction, and humor. The theatre is nice and cozy with fairly comfortable seats although close together. One criticism: the bathroom is too dim! My daughter has a vision impairment and that bathroom with that step-up would be a nightmare for her.

Very fun, entertaining and enlightening. The cast was a delightful ensemble of natural talent. I will seek out the other cases in this series. Great job.
