Truthworker Theatre Company Presents:
IN|PRISM: Boxed In & Blacked Out in America
TICKETS: http://truthworker.bpt.me
An original work devised through direct conversation with those inside, IN|PRISM examines the impacts & practices of solitary confinement in US prisons, tracing one man's remarkable capacity for liberation within the walls of death row. Truthworker Theatre Company has had the unique & humbling opportunity to be working directly with Jarvis Jay Masters, an innocent man on death row, who has been incarcerated since the age of 19 in San Quentin Prison & institutionalized since he was a young boy. Jarvis is working from the inside to be in collaboration with Truthworker Theater Company through this creation process. Every young company member has read each of his two books, Finding Freedom & That Bird Has My Wings, in preparation for this production. We are exchanging writings & even speaking directly on the phone when permitted, calling upon technology to mediate transformational and generative dialogue between Jarvis & the youth. We are all motivated by his incredible spirit & thirst for liberation.
After touring and performing in High Schools, Colleges, Universities, Theaters and Conferences from Fall River, MA to Yale University, to The Highline Ballroom, to Mohonk Mountain House, to Oberlin Coollege, to NYU...we are excited to be home to present 5 performances!
