Jacky. For people who were incarcerated, many suffered needlessly when they were sick or dying. Being ill is bad enough, and being incarcerated is bad enough, but through years of indifference, an extra layer of human cruelty became the norm. This is a story about the humanity inside prison walls in spite of everything.
See Jacky for one-night only at the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre on May 17. Tickets are $20.
This Solo Showcase series is produced by the Formerly Incarcerated People’s Performance Project (FIPPP) to celebrate longer pieces of solo performance by their Fellows. FIPPP Fellows share stories about their life experiences and FIPPP is currently the Company-in-Residence at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. FIPPP believes that sharing the stories of those who have been formerly incarcerated will foster compassion and understanding about the circumstances that may lead to incarceration. For their audiences, the stories at FIPPP are meant to bring hope and shed light on the inhumane conditions prisoners often endure during and after incarceration.
