U.S. Army Garrison-Kaiserslautern’s KMC Onstage continues its latest production of “Night of January 16th” this weekend at the theater, Bldg. 3232 on Kleber Kaserne.
“Night of January 16th” was written by Ayn Rand in 1934 and takes place entirely in a court room centered around a murder trial.
“I came across this play a few years ago and found the concept and content quite interesting,” said Leo Kosley, who volunteered to be the director for the production.
The most intriguing aspect of the show is that the jury is made up of audience members.
“They come on stage and sit in the jury box and decide the fate of the defendant so each night the ending of the show can be different,” Mr. Kosley said.
The play centers around Bjorn Faulkner, who, after swindling millions of dollars from investors, falls to his death on the night of Jan. 16. The jury’s role is to decide if it was a suicide or murder.
“I’m very excited to be a part of this production. Not only is it challenging and exciting to be a part of an interactive play, but it’s also amazing that so many people are willing to give up their personal time and volunteer to keep a cherished part of this community alive with their talent,” said Sarah Richard, KMC Onstage’s operations assistant.
The production continues at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, April 10 and April 11; and at 3 p.m. Sunday at KMC Onstage, Bldg. 3232 on Kleber Kaserne. For details, call KMC Onstage at 483-6626.
