VOICES INSIDE/OUT is a benefit reading of six short plays written by inmates at Northpoint Training Center, a medium security prison in Kentucky. The plays were created in the three-year-old Voices Inside theater arts program at the prison.

All net proceeds support the summer playwriting program at Northpoint, and seed the second annual residency for a professional playwright to teach master classes to the prisoner-playwrights there in July 2012. We will announce the 2012 Playwright-in-Residence at the reading!

The short plays include comedies and dramas set inside and outside of prison:
MY INNER VOICE
12 MINUTES
DO WHAT'S NEXT
MAIL

CHAIN TO CHAIN
NEW FISH IN AN OLD POND

 

Directors include Mark Armstrong, Erica Gould, Mary Hodges & Daniel Talbott

The reading will be followed by a post-show reception.
