Fall Play: 12 Angry Jurors
Synopsis: Following the closing arguments in a [modern] murder trial, the 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, a [Chicago] teen. As the dozen jurors try to reach a unanimous decision while sequestered in a room, one juror casts intense and contagious doubt on key elements of the case. Personal issues soon rise to the surface, values & prejudices are revealed, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide one boy's fate.

Winter Play: Failure: A Love Story
Synopsis: By the end of 1928, all three Fail sisters will be dead -- expiring in reverse order, youngest to oldest, from blunt object to the head, disappearance, and finally consumption. Tuneful songs and a whimsical chorus follow the story of Nelly, Jenny June, and Gertry as they live out their lives above the family clock repair shop near the Chicago River before their time unexpectedly runs out. A magical, musical fable where, in the end, the power of love is far greater than any individual's successes or failures.

This is a fantastic, low stress way to get involved with theatre at DGS! The One Acts are a series of short plays directed by DGS Drama students that gives fresh and veteran actors an opportunity to perform onstage in everything from drama to farce to experimental theatre! The Children's Play is a fun and humorous performance of theatre for young audiences that always brings a smile to the face of the young students watching and the DGS Drama students performing. For these auditions, just bring a monologue from the audition packet and we will take care of the rest!
