The Jury Experience is bringing new cases to Sarasota that would even give the New Sarasota County Courthouse a run for its money. At these immersive, live courtroom dramas, you become part of the jury: you hear the case, weigh the evidence, and help decide the verdict yourself. On select dates over the coming months, these fictional trials invite you into a space charged with doubt, consequence, and human instinct. Each trial shifts the ground beneath you, pulling you through competing arguments, uneasy gray areas, and the kind of moral tension that lingers long after the final vote.
The Jury Experience: What is on in Sarasota?
The Killer AI
A fatal collision involving autonomous vehicle technology sets the stage for a trial steeped in unease. As the arguments unfold, you’re drawn into the discomfort of a world where an AI system can behave exactly as designed and still leave irreversible loss behind. The question isn’t simple—when accountability blurs between machine, maker, and human oversight, every detail feels heavier.
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is an interactive live trial where you take part in the case, listen to testimony, examine arguments, and vote on the final decision amid moral and psychological tension. Multiple fictional cases keep the format fresh and replayable, while professional performances by local actors give each standalone trial shape and momentum. These shows usually have a 60-minute runtime and are recommended for guests aged 12 and over.
At The Jury Experience in Sarasota, you listen carefully, weigh what matters, and sit with the discomfort of not having easy answers. That’s the pull here—the pressure of judgment, the tension of choice, the responsibility that settles in once the evidence is in. Long after the arguments end, your decision is still yours to carry.
The event takes place at the Renaissance Event Center on select dates, with two back-to-back shows scheduled each date. Tickets are sold in tiers and seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone.
