The Jury Experience is a 60-minute scripted play presented as a live courtroom trial. The audience serves as the jury, and the show features alternative endings based on their verdict.

Because this production has performed successfully around the world, our Stage Manager position is very unique. The Stage Manager is more closely responsible for learning the production and technical decisions that have already been made, rather than mapping them out from scratch. The Stage Manager will jump into this fast-paced role after reviewing materials and being trained on Mentimeter software directly by producers.

Analyze call scripts and cue sheets to familiarize yourself with cues.
