Coming Fall 2018

The Crossroads: A Prison Cabaret

Created and and performed by the men of William Head on Stage
Directed by Kate Rubin
In collaboration with SNAFU Dance Theatre and the Prison Arts Collective.

Inspired by the men's own reflections and writings, The Crossroads: A Prison Cabaret will explore the nature of conflict, how intolerances are built within groups and how it can connect to a deep need for inclusion, acknowledgement and a sense of identity. A musical satire, complete with a live band, song, dance and a wonderful story that takes place in a fantastical cabaret setting; this show will inspire, delight and move audiences.
