REENTRY THEATRE
REENTRY THEATRE PROGRAM
Through weekly sessions, participants work alongside life practice artists to shape their stories, ideas, experiences, and dreams into original, fully produced professional plays in the community.
Our most recent production, Streets Like This, was produced at the Cherry ArtSpace in March 2020.
In 2020-2021, the ReEntry Theatre Program is partnering with College Initiative Upstate to explore how personal narratives can impact a community. We are creating a new play based in oral history interviews. Learn more and listen to interview clips here!

The ReEntry Theatre Council is the leadership body of the program. Comprised of dedicated members of the ReEntry Theatre Program, the Council steers the direction of the programming. To learn more about the Council Members, CLICK HERE.
GETTING INVOLVED
The ReEntry Theatre Program is an ongoing weekly program. Participation is free and everyone who has experienced incarceration in jails, prisons, or drug rehabilitation programs is welcome to attend. Participants work with theatre professionals from Civic Ensemble to grow theatre skills, develop scenes and plays based on the ideas each individual brings, and build community.
