You Be The Judge

Actually we'll be the judge, prosecutors, and bailiff -- but your group will be the jury, the witnesses, and maybe even the defendant in a hilarious judicial free-for-all!  We've done many a murder trial in the past, but to make things a little more interesting your group can also dream up the charges just before the show begins.  We'll also ask for witnesses from the audience (on a volunteer basis, of course) to help us point some fingers.  Don't worry: it's easy, it's painless, and most importantly, it's a whole lot of fun!

 
audience watching performance

Groups of up to 55 people can comfortably enjoy the proceedings in Mackenzie Hall's elegant Macdonald Courtroom, with authentic furniture and decorations saved from the former criminal court.  Larger groups can hang 'em high in the actual Court Auditorium!  Your program will have even more juicy historical tidbits.

A few comments from past audiences:
Hilarious!  He should have hung!  Terrific! Absolutely loved it!  Great idea!  Too Fun!  We want more!
