Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Starfish Stories Inc DBA The Francisco Homes (TFH), will continue to engage TheatreWorkers Project (TWP) to implement LIFER: Stories from the Inside/Out enabling men on parole from serving life sentences to express themselves through a two-part incentivized, rehabilitative theatre process that will begin with a writing component to be used as the basis for a script. The second phase will include acting coaching, rehearsals and 2 performances, each followed by participant-audience dialogues. The process and performances will be documented and streamed to multiple audiences.
The participants may choose to join both the writing and performance components of the program or conclude their creative journey with the writing portion. Stipends will be paid for each workshop, rehearsal and performance they participate in.
