Student actors in the Ann Sobrato High School Theatre Society will be giving their final two fall play performances of “12 Angry Jurors” at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday inside the Sobrato Performing Arts Center
The play, based on the original teleplay “12 Angry Men,” tells the story of 12 jurors on a capitol murder case. When they are locked in a room and forced to come to a unanimous decision about a young boy’s life they end up learning about more than the case, but also their own prejudices and opinions.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $8 for children and students with Associated Student Body. Tickets can be purchased online at www.seatyourself.biz/sobratohs.

The theme for the FIRST Robotics-sponsored tournament, which is geared towards elementary and middle school students, is “Nature’s Fury” and teams of students have to build a robot out of Legos and write a pre-programmed code for the robot to traverse through obstacles simulating a natural disaster and be able to get help to the areas needed.
There are 16 teams from throughout the Bay Area that will be competing at the free of charge event that is open to the public. The opening ceremonies start at 9 a.m. with the first round competition at 11:15 a.m. and an awards ceremony at 4:15 p.m.
