Injustice isn't a dress rehearsal. Act now.
Who are we?
Justice Theatre Company is comprised of a group of young adult volunteers working to find social justice through performing plays exposing and raising awareness of social injustices. Founded by K.J. Moran and Kathleen Ryan, the Justice Theatre Company is growing its roots as the company prepares for its first production.
For its founding year, the Justice Theatre Company is producing Shakespeare Behind Bars, a play about one woman's journey to teach in Framingham Women's Prison. There, she meets Dolly, a determined prisoner serving a life sentence for her boyfriend's murder; Bertie, a Jamaican woman who is outcast because of her horrendous crime; Rhonda, the daughter of a Marine who falls into crime in the wake of her father's death; Kit, a former drug user who can hardly keep clean, even behind bars; Rose, an HIV+ drug addict and former prostitute who is rejected by almost every inmate because of her status during the AIDS epidemic; Cody, a troubled heroin addict and dealer, who is more concerned with love than literature; and Mamie, an arson who fights to finish a college class before she succumbs to the brain tumor that plagues her. Together, they decide to put on the prison's first production: Merchant of Venice.
The unlikeliest of plays in the loneliest of places: how will these eight women ever come together to produce Shakespeare?
Where is your money going?
Your donations go towards the cost of producing The Exonerated. Our staff is entirely made up of volunteers who believe in our cause, and so any donations we receive go towards our advocacy of social injustice.
