The Wake County Courthouse has seen its fair share of criminal cases but it’s not the only hall of justice dealing with high-profile cases. This season, law enthusiasts can experience the thrill of a live courtroom drama that captures the intensity of a real trial without the uneasiness caused by a summons at “The Jury Experience” in Raleigh. Attendees step into the jury box, hear compelling testimonies and finally decide: guilty or not guilty.
On selected dates over the coming months, this interactive case will transform the stage of Jones Auditorium at Meredith College into a real-life courtroom setting. Places are limited so secure your tickets today.
What is on in Raleigh?
Death on the Port Side
In ‘The Jury Experience’ in Raleigh, you’re placed at the heart of a fictional case: a late-night speedboat run among friends that ends with one dead, another in a coma, and an accused whose parent holds serious political power. Conflicting memories blur timelines; anger, loyalty, and fear distort what’s said under oath. Was it reckless chaos or something darker—accident or intent? Privilege shapes who is heard and how much. You read faces, weigh slurred recollections, and test your own bias. Listen closely. Certainty stays just out of reach, and responsibility refuses to settle.
