“Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Has not the definition of insanity attributed to Einstein sunk in? Voting (twice) to replace Newfane's town offices for $1 million, at a time of general financial uncertainty, is a reckless challenge to everyone's already-stretched budgets.

BRATTLEBORO-New England Youth Theatre (NEYT) presents Twelve Angry Jurors, by Reginald Rose, adapted by Sherman L. Sergel, Friday through Sunday, April 5–7 at NEYT, 100 Flat Street. This play is directed by Eric Bass, assistant directed by James Gelter, choreographed by Shoshana Bass, scored by composer Julian Gerstin, and features members of the NEYT's senior company. Twelve Angry Jurors (originally written as Twelve Angry Men) is a play about saving a democratic process, not necessarily about saving an innocent man.
