| In the role of "Herschel Myers, Stockbroker, Juror" |
"The jury is a wonderfully chosen cast of actors with expressive, captivating faces that
work well in extreme close-ups. . .One man raps, "I gave her the benefit of the doubt.
She's guilty, there's no way out." A woman counters, "Hold on, big guy, not so fast.
Maybe he drove her to kill his ass." In between stanzas, the men rap, "Stupid bitch,"
while the woman shake their heads and say, "Don't let no man treat you like that.
One cannot help but marvel at the perfect coordination as the jurors speak their
dialogue in sync with the hip-hop song underscoring their words. The beat pushes its
way into your subconscious, causing many a serious-faced patron to tap a foot while
visibly swaying shoulders to the rhythm." Adrienne Cea, "Dinner With Felons", OffOffOnLine

"This is a very funny production. The eight actors who are performing live bring so
much to the audience and they are complimented by the gifted actors who are on the
video recording. One of the things that I really enjoyed about the production was
that the audience was exposed to the inner thoughts of the jury members.
I was in stitches to hear some of the inner thoughts of the jury in the production
because I could identify." Nicole U. Hopkins, The Black Star News

"Hankins turns a jaundiced eye and ear to the inside of the Jury Room. We watch
them bicker, argue, even physically fight to persuade one another. Most troubling is
that many of them made up their minds before the trial began! So that as the trial
proceeds one is actually thinking about the defendant's clothes, another about going
on vacation, and a third is worrying about getting back to work."
