2024 Spring Exchange Event & “Burgerman”

Our teaching artists, Samantha Williams-Gray and Janessa Johnsrude, who also serves as Program Director,  have been implementing their training with Justice For My Sister’s “Trauma- Informed Storytelling” workshop series throughout 2024 and have worked with program participants on personal storytelling projects and productions for their spring 2024 final projects.

The D-Yard class developed their work into a variety show called “Burgerman”, which premiered to a group of visitors in May who came up to the prison for an exchange class and showing. The cast made props, wrote scenes, made proposals for short interludes, and self-directed the piece coming together to coordinate an exchange class and showing for friends of Dell’Arte who traveled up for the day. Thank you to our visitors who came up!
