Soul Rebel Performance Troupe is a Capital District theater group dedicated to highlighting and producing theatrical work by and about people of color and other marginalized groups, and fostering cross-cultural understanding through the performing arts. The incarcerated men and women who submitted entries for this production are proud to know their words and stories are being performed publicly to call attention to the human toll of our prison industrial complex. Voices from Inside gives an insightful nuanced voice to the 2.3 million men and women who are incarcerated, invisible and unheard.
