It is also a play about how to change that reality together, about how acting for change benefits us all. The BOX will play in San Rafael for two weekends - September 10 - 12 and September 17 - 19 .

This is an immersive, socially distanced experience following strict safety precautions. Each audience member will sit in their own square of an immersive grid on an outdoor stage in safe proximity to the performers. The playwright Sarah Shourd, a survivor, will perform along with a powerful cast, more than half of whom are formerly incarcerated. A healing circle follows each performance to imagine ways to repair harm and create safety. Don’t miss this unique example of transformative justice.
