Salt Lake City, Utah – Turn on the TV any weeknight and chances are you'll find a courtroom drama. Our fascination with the genre is hardly new. In 1954, Twelve Angry Men debuted as a live television performance. Since then, it's been made and remade in the movies and produced for the stage. This weekend, Pioneer Theatre Company opens their production and Thursday, we're talking about the play - about the ideas of justice and the power of the jury.

Pioneer Theatre Company's production of Twelve Angry Men opens Friday, February 12 and runs through February 27. For tickets and information, call 801-581-6961 or click here
