Act of Murder

It changed the way I act, direct and teach…the exposure to people who are in real pain because of what they have been through increased my humanity. It made me a broader person and even a better parent. I have seen very clearly the restorative power of drama in a prison context. We have to find ways to heal people to reduce recidivism, and drama therapy is one of the ways we can do that.
