This unique theater troupe, led by Curt Tofteland, marries the creative process with the transformative power of art to heal and redeem…where the very act of participation in theater is a human triumph and a means of personal liberation. Curt is joined by former actors and corrections officials to discuss this novel project involving America’s prisons.
Shakespeare Behind Bars offers participants the ability to hope and the courage to act despite their fear and the odds against them. By immersing participants in the nine-month process of producing a Shakespeare play, Shakespeare Behind Bars uses the healing power of the arts, transforming inmate offenders from who they were when they committed their crimes, to who they are in the present moment, to who they wish to become.
