Event The ReEntry Theatre Program presents: Dreams and Nightmares Dreams and Nightmares: Do What You Always Did, Get What You Always Got

Friday, March 25 & Saturday, March 26

7:30

Hangar Theatre

FREE



An evening of short plays by members of Civic Ensemble's ReEntry Theatre Program. Participants work for 8 weeks to write plays about their life experiences. Those plays are performed as staged readings with participants acting alongside professional actors.



Both performances are followed by a discussion with the playwrights. Saturday nights' performance will also have a reception with food.



The ReEntry Theatre Program is an opportunity for participants, who have been incarcerated at some point in their lives, to collaborate and create theatre over an eightweek span. The program gives participants an opportunity to gain skills in writing, collaboration, theatrical expression, and leadership.



The ReEntry Theatre Program is a project of the Ultimate ReEntry Opportunity (URO), a collective impact process in Tompkins County coordinated by the Multicultural Resource Center. The URO was established in 2014 as a partnership movement between private and public sectors to transform and optimize the process of reentry and reduce the risk of rearrest and reincarceration.
