Monday May 23rd, 2011.
I was lucky enough to be a part of wonderful evening of theater at the Baruch Performing Arts Center.
Northpoint: Voices from a Kentucky Prison, was a benefit reading of plays written by inmates from The Northpoint Training Center (a medium security prison) in Bergin, Kentucky.
I read two plays written by Rob Daughenbaugh and Denny Holder.
The evening raised money to support the continuation of a 10-minute playwriting program funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) at Northpoint. The progam began in the summer of 2010, by Curt L. Tofteland, Shakespeare Behind Bars Producing Director, partnering with producer/playwright Robby Henson, Robby’s sister Holly Henson, (Artistic Director, Pioneer Playhouse), and playwright Elizabeth Orndorff.
The evening was produced in partnership by Theaterlab and AMC Creative.
