The young performers of Truthworker Theatre Company.
The life of a man on death row, Jarvis Jay Masters, is about to be transformed into a savage criticism of the laws, policies and culture of incarceration in the United States.
Truthworker Theatre Co. performs "IN|PRISM: Boxed In and Blacked Out in America,” an original work on solitary confinement, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Samara Gaev, a New York activist, educator and actor, founded the social justice-based hip-hop theater company, whose performers are all in high school or recent graduates.
JJIE’s Daryl Khan interviewed Gaev and her young actors earlier this year about the production.
