CA: Poetic Justice presents an original musical "Off The Hook" set in a CA prison featuring a cast of formerly incarcerated people

By Real Cost of Prisons Project (The Sentencing Project)

The original musical drama OFF THE HOOK, set in a California prison and featuring a 15-member cast of formerly incarcerated people, will debut Aug. 13 at 8 p.m. at The Empty Space in Bakersfield. Deborah Tobola, artistic director of the Poetic Justice Project, says that the premiere is fitting, because Kern County is the prison capital of California, home to state correctional facilities in Wasco, Tehachapi and Delano, along with a federal prison in Taft and several private lock-ups. Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the California Arts Council are helping to fund the Poetic Justice Project Prison Town Tour. The production stars Alaska Native film actor Pius Savage. More information---here's the website http://www.poeticjusticeproject...continue to full post
