THE JURY tackles an issue that came up when bookwriter Diana Howie served on
jury with similar problems. She and composer Anna Fay Williams
realized the
seriousness of the issues that are being faced in American society when
individuals
do not want to involve themselves with time-consuming public
service.
Being a juror is one of the public tasks that we are asked to do
for
the justice
system. This musical provides an introduction to the roles of jurors
as well as
introducing other provocative questions involving guns in our society and
reactions to them.
