The Journey is an original theatre piece written and performed by 21 residents of California State Prison-L.A. County’s (LAC) Progressive Programming Facility in Lancaster and developed during TheatreWorkers Project’s Life Stories from the Inside/Out program. The work was inspired by the writing of Jimmy Santiago Baca and supported by TheatreWorkers Project teaching artists.
Making the Journey takes viewers behind the walls of LAC into the “A” Yard chapel where TheatreWorkers Project’s guest artist and poet, Jimmy Santiago Baca, leads a workshop. That workshop became the inspiration for The Journey.
Inspired by the words of writer/poet Jimmy Santiago Baca.
