“You succeeded in opening my mind to imagine and see how an individual, confined, can break down barriers. If someone in one of the most unlikely and unimaginably horrific circumstances can become an agent of transformative change, I too can accomplish profound things!”

“I cannot recall a theater experience that had a greater lock on the conscience of its audience. We, the audience, become complicit spectators to a staged synecdoche of America’s shame. It was not just good theater, it was phenomenal.”
JOHN STOLTENBERG, DC THEATER ARTS CRITIC
"The tour gave me a new jump start, more energy to fight even harder to end solitary confinement. It also brought back memories of the pain and suffering we endured, that is still happening today."
