The beautiful nearby Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) will present the play “Twelve Angry Jurors” from the Teen Actors Guild Performance Workshop from August 19 - 22. The play is based on the famous movie “Twelve Angry Men”, and examines, through interesting and revealing drama, the prejudices, motivations, frustrations, and character of twelve jurors in the case of a teen being tried for murder. Did he do it? Is the case sound? Does it matter to all of the jury? Will justice prevail?

The play will be presented in the round on the studio stage, so the audience will feel like they are part of the play. HFAC is located at 10760 Grant Road, Houston, TX 77070. Tickets are $10 plus $2 handling charge, and information on show times and ticket purchase can be found at www.houstonfac.com. You can also call 281-685-6374 or email hfac@houstonfac.com for additional information. Enjoy the show!

The classic play “The Music Man” is coming to The Berry Center this July, providing a great experience for the whole family.  Based on the story of a fast talking salesman who ends up talking himself into the position of producing a musical - but he has no musical talent or experience!  It’s a great story of someone finding character, overcoming challenges, making new friends, and finding love, all where he never would have expected.

The play will be held at The Berry Center Theater, 8877 Barker Cypress Rd, over the weekends of July 16 and July 23, and show time information and tickets can be found at TicketTurtle.com.
