23/1 - An original play by traveling artist Shawn Whitsell
An imprisoned man fights for his sanity in the harsh conditions of solitary confinement.
November 6th and 7th
8:00pm show
$20 tickets
About the actor/writer/director:
The Nashville Scene named 23/1 “Best Blend of Theater and Activism” in 2019 for its examination of solitary confinement and mass incarceration.
A playwright, actor, producer, and director, Whitsell is also the founder of Destiny Theatre Experience and a longtime community organizer, poet, and teaching artist who facilitates playwriting and spoken word workshops. His work centers on the belief that the arts can transform communities, raise awareness, and spark both social and personal change.
In addition to his theatre work, Whitsell volunteers in prisons through the School for Alternative Learning and Transformation (SALT), supporting incarcerated individuals through arts and education.
