At the heart of every courtroom lies a cocktail of moral differences. Strangers come together to decide someone’s fate, it’s almost a test of our human instincts. The Jury Experience in Austin doesn’t just invite you to watch the process unfold; this theatrical event places you right in the middle of it. It feels less like a staged setting and more like a real courtroom drama, challenging you to put your critical thinking at the forefront of the trial.
This Jury Experience takes place in the Austin Scottish Rite Temple. Delicately crafted to drag you straight into the screenplay at specific moments of the trial, you almost forget you are a spectator at all. By zoning into the role and getting to the bottom of the verdict to be, the line between fiction and reality becomes unrecognizable.
What is on in Austin?
Death on the Port Side
In The Jury Experience in Austin, you enter a fictional courtroom where a late‑night speedboat crash among friends leaves one dead, another in a coma, and the accused — a powerful politician’s child — insisting it was a mistake. Stories wobble under alcohol, loyalties fracture, tempers flare. Privilege edges the room, bending how memory lands and which voices carry. Accident or intent hangs in the air as you weigh contradictions, and the ache of what can’t be unsaid. Listen closely.
What is the Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is the opportunity to take part in an interactive performance. It unfolds like a real courtroom trial, where you’re surrounded by quick-witted actors and conflicting testimonies.

Even questionable.
