The ReEntry Theatre Program brings together people who have been incarcerated at some point in their lives to write plays and present them to the community. Participants in this program gain invaluable hard skills like writing, computer literacy, and theatre skills, as well as soft skills like communication, patience, and teamwork. The purpose of this program is twofold: to provide a structure for personal growth for people reentering the community after incarceration, and to connect those re-entering with the larger community through the performances of their plays. Conducted weekly sessions during this time period during which over 100 participants helped create an original play. 10 participants then participated as cast members in a two-month rehearsal and play development process. 4 performances of the play were conducted attended by approximately 500 people.$0$21,630
Civic Acts: New Plays Toward The Beloved Community is Civic Ensemble's new annual play festival in Ithaca featuring new political plays by nationally and internationally renowned playwrights whose work centers women and people of color. These plays deal with the challenges our communities face in moving society toward what Dr. Martin Luther King called The Beloved Community. The Beloved Community is a vision where all people share in the wealth of the earth. Civic Acts is one of the few new play festivals in the U.S. devoted to socially-engaged theatre. During the time period requested, rehearsals were conducted for the first of two of the plays presented, Fast Blood, by Judy Tate. The plays were performed in July and August of 2018 with 12 performances of Fast Blood and 10 performances of Bee Trapped Inside the Window. 835 Audience members combined, saw the plays performed that summer.$0$20,754
Civic Ensemble and Cornell University's Department of Performing and Media Arts continue their partnership with a collaboration centering the topic of climate change. While a course is taught on campus, Civic Ensemble will work with students and community members to conduct story circles and interviews off-campus with community members, students, scientists, government officials, farmers, and artists. Civic Ensemble is establishing connections with individuals and community and government groups to set up story circles and interviews during the month of October. These stories and interviews will help create the course's culminating project, a play in the format of a Living Newspaper. 20 student and community participants helped to build the original play. 5 performances were presented on the Cornell campus and around the community. 400 audience members attended the performances.$0$15,189
