TLC Steps Out: A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Prison
The Unitarian Universalist Church
Sunday • February 19th, 2023 • 4 p.m. 107 W Barcelona • Santa Fe
We’re going to the Movies! Join fellow Theater Lovers Club members at the showing of The Santa Fe Film Festival’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream in Prison”.
"It's almost like for three hours we weren't in prison," says Zeb, one of the prison inmates in rural Eastern Oregon who arrives at the transformative possibility of re-imagining his life story, past and future, while putting on Shakespeare's comedic tale, A Midsummer Night's Dream in Prison, under lock-down. As the journey unfolds, themes of gender identity and the challenges faced by BIPOC prisoners are deftly explored, and the power of the arts to challenge and heal, even under the most difficult circumstances, is affirmed and celebrated.
There will be a short movie and a talkback afterwards. The talkback is with the Producer Of Midsummer, Johnny Stallings who is also one of the subjects. Here is the link for the film short. http://santafefilmfestival.com/index/film/exit-12/
