Wednesday, May 23, 7PM, Catamount Arts, presents It's Criminal, a documentary presenting the work of Pati Hernandez, professor at Dartmouth College.
Hernandez was key in developing a program that brought Dartmouth students into a minimum security prison to work on a theater performance featuring both students and women inmates.
Hernandez has a knack of working with people on the basis of their shared humanity. And as students and prisoners work together on creating the performance, the two worlds, that of the elite college student and the prison inmate, move a little closer together.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with Ms. Hernandez, the documentary's director: Signe Taylor, one of the inmates featured in the film, and persons from the St. Johnsbury community. There is no charge for the evening.
