Is the wolf guilty or not guilty? That was the big question our 4th graders set out to answer in Twelve Angry Pigs, a playful spoof of the classic courtroom drama Twelve Angry Men, continuing the Upper Elementary Theater Showcase tradition.
Students rotated through roles as juror pigs and storybook characters, stepping into the spotlight to build the case, challenge the evidence, and keep the audience guessing until the final verdict. Careful reasoning prevailed, and the wolf was found not guilty, reminding the audience that first impressions do not always tell the whole story.
After the final gavel dropped, the spotlight shifted to music. Students picked up guitars and performed for an audience of proud parents and fellow students, ending the showcase on a high note.
