Support Twin and Happy's New Beginning

Please consider donating to Twin and Happy, who after serving decades in prison, are struggling to survive on the outside.

Two long-term prisoners at San Quentin State Prison, “Twin” and “Happy,” experience an encounter with culture that forever changes their lives when they are reluctantly cast in the prison’s theatrical production of “Waiting for Godot.” With the backdrop of daily violence and complete deprivation of freedom, the one-year-long rehearsal becomes an isolated space for contemplation and self-reflection. The leap to the theater stage is not as far as they had thought; after all, their upbringing in a gang environment has already laid the groundwork for a form of acting. Roles that they did not choose themselves, but that have led to the crimes that landed them each with a 30-year sentence.

Please consider donating to help them rebuild their lives and find stability.
