A Taste of The Work of The Actors’ Gang Prison Project
The Actors’ Gang is a California-based theatre company created in 1984 by Oscar-winning actor/director Tim Robbins. It is one of the most respected and revered theatre companies in the country, with one of the foremost Arts in Corrections programs. Sabra Williams created The Actors’ Gang Prison Project in 2006 as a response to the high recidivism rates in California. This workshop will introduce you to the highly physical and emotional work that we use both as company training for our actors and to help transform the lives of the incarcerated, parolees, and those at risk.
Sabra Williams, founder and director of The Actors’ Gang Prison Project, and DonnaJo Thorndale, associate director of education, will facilitate the journey into the training of The Actors’ Gang.
