Twelve Angry People

The National Thespians began the year with the production of Twelve Angry People by Reginald Rose. Cheri Carr and Sue Tinney portray jurors on the edge of indecision.

Popy Eliotou, Judy Wilburn, and Phil Bender as other jurors who sweat it out deciding the fate of a young man.

Jurors, played by Larry Adams and Judy Fisher, are not comfortable about sending an innocent man to prison.

Carnival of Short Plays

National Thespians would participate in the Carnival of Plays held in the Little Harvey at Bakersfield High School. North High's offerings for the day were two plays, including Alexander Proposes, featuring the acting of Gloria Busby and Artie Flint.
