  • More about Acting Out: How A Prison Theatre Workshop Broke Free

Richard Hoehler's journey working with prison inmates led to an odyssey of popular acting and writing workshops and seven full productions, showcasing the transformative power of theatre in dehumanizing and arbitrary prison systems.

Publisher: Globe Pequot Press


Richard Hoehler, a busy freelance writer, actor, and teacher, agreed to teach an acting class for inmates pro bono at a medium security prison in upstate New York. He had no idea that this experience would lead to an odyssey that would result in an incredibly popular series of acting and writing workshops and mounting seven full productions with prison inmates. The participants in these workshops work to express themselves and connect with dramatic works where anger, compassion, forgiveness, and tears pour forth in the safety of the workshop. Hoehler is not a “do-gooder” but simply there to do good work, and this is the remarkable story of the theatre's ability to change lives even in the most unlikely of settings.
