The father of all courtroom dramas, 12 ANGRY MEN is an unflinching look at a jury deciding the guilt or innocence of a 19-year-old accused of fatally stabbing his father. The stakes are further raised by the knowledge that a guilty verdict will mean an automatic death sentence. What appears to be an open-and-shut case quickly explodes into a tense fight among the twelve men as they struggle to decide the ultimate fate of the accused.

Fundraising Opportunity for ACT Member Theatres

ACT_purpleWe have $1500 to give…up for grabs for all ACT Groups!

Mason Community Players provides the volunteer army that directs traffic in the parking lots for the Western & Southern ATP (Tennis) tournament, in Mason, August 9-17. The work is very easy. Anyone who can stand, be friendly, and occasionally wave an arm can do it.

With the tournament coming next week, we still have about 10% of our 500 slots open. Available Shift Times: Monday 8/11 through Saturday 8/16: 3:30-8:00 PM. Sunday 8/17: 11:30-3:00 PM, 2:30-7:00 PM.

Ridiculously easy fast money to your group. Nothing to learn, nothing to sell, no pledges to collect, zero heavy lifting. All you need to do is give some time, while hanging in a great fun team environment with fellow theatre folks, many of whom they may already know.

If you can find some time next week, Monday August 11 through Sunday August 17, can spend that time bringing in fast easy money to your group.

Special Note to folks who can be free at 3:30 PM: Although our early shift officially runs from 3:30 to 8:00, we can let you leave as early as you need to. We usually can bring in late shift people earlier to cover. It’s the 3:30 end where we need the most help. Just make sure to leave a note to that effect when they sign up.

MCP_logoWhat’s it worth to your group? A lot. When you work 3 (4.5 hour) shifts, your group makes about 100 bucks. And that can add up really fast. Five people from your group coming up and pulling three shifts together makes about $500 for your group. We’ll gladly assign group members together.

It’s easy to sign up. Just go to http://vols.pt/f83fAV .

When you sign up, please type your group’s name right after yours, separated by a colon. As in “Fred Hunt:TDW.”

Must be 13+. Under-18’s must be accompanied by an over-18. (We are glad to sign for student community service hours when parents request.)

We provide water and snacks. You’ll receive specific directions, instructions, and handy-dandy tips, before the day of your first shift.

Thank you so much for your help! Hope we can give your group a lot of money!
