INTERSECTIONS is an original theatre piece based on a variety of perspectives: letters from inmates housed in Vermont correctional facilities and out of state private prisons, first-person accounts by incarcerated women brave enough to share their stories, stories from victims’ and inmates’ family members, and our personal intersections with “corrections” and “justice.” In light of the popularity of Orange is the New Black, national awareness of our mass incarceration crisis, and prisoners’ deaths and suicides from years spent in solitary confinement, we consider INTERSECTIONS to be a call to action. As Vermont theatre artists, our creative team ties monologues and scenes into a full-length theatre performance that explores why and how Vermonters should care about incarceration.
“This project is supported in part by an award from the BCA Community Fund.”
