As the site of a racially-motivated political assassination, Ford’s Theatre recognized that we can help educators use Twelve Angry Men to teach about implicit bias, systemic racism and their impact on our society.

Twelve Angry Men is a play credited with creating a genre: the “courtroom drama."

In January 2019, Ford’s presents a new production of the American drama Twelve Angry Men. Directed by Sheldon Epps, the play gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the jury deliberation room. Epps recently spoke with us about his concept for the play here in Washington, D.C.

This summer we welcomed a new Director of Artistic Programming, José Carrasquillo. We sat down with José to talk about his career, his goals for Ford’s and more!
