Forget traditional true crime: This interactive 60-minute murder trial is coming to historic Los Angeles theaters

A fatal late-night speedboat crash leaves one friend dead, another in a coma, and the rest clinging to fractured versions of what happened. In this case, the accused stands close to political power, and that privilege hangs over every statement, every gap in memory, every piece of evidence. Was it a reckless accident, or something more deliberate? As the trial unfolds, you sit with the tension between loyalty, influence, and unreliable accounts—part of the jury asked to weigh credibility, responsibility, and a truth that never lands cleanly.

Death by AI: Will Los Angeles Make Justice?

Nothing broke. The self-driving car did exactly what its design asked of it, dodging one danger with a split-second decision, and someone died anyway. So who carries the blame: a person, a company, the code, or the wider system? Philosopher Philippa Foot posed the trolley problem in 1967 as a thought experiment. This AI courtroom drama makes it a case you have to rule on. Actors play out the testimony in court, and you vote at key moments, aware that any verdict could cost the victim’s family, the defendant, or whoever rides in these cars next.

“The Jury Experience” is a simulated courtroom drama where guests step into the shoes of a jury to decide the fate of a high-stakes case. Think of your favorite true crime drama but packed with tension as the audience becomes part of the show. Over the course of 60 minutes, you’ll face complex moral dilemmas about the future ahead through a combination of compelling storytelling and live performances from skilled actors, about modern moral dilemmas, robberies and murder.

Given the complex nature of these cases, the experiences are suitable for guests aged 12 or above.

The beauty of a jury is that you don’t have to be a legal expert to unpack the evidence and make a decision. To quote Paul Newman in The Verdict: “if we are to have faith in justice, we need only to believe in ourselves. And ACT with justice.” So when confronted with these hard-hitting questions at “The Jury Experience”, look into your hearts and decide: guilty or not guilty.
