THEATER 36: PART 2 - Supernova

Open-Door Playhouse

Supernova, written by Elisabeth Hawes of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, directed by Bernadette Amstrong as part of Open-Door Playhouse’s Prison Plays series. The play will premiere in two parts on the Open-Door Playhouse Podcast, Wednesday, July 14th, and Wednesday, July 21st. The podcast is FREE to listen to and download, but donations are greatly appreciated.

Supernova gives voice to the multi-faceted women in lockup and highlights the need to bring the rights of children of the incarcerated into the equation of mass incarceration.

Open-Door Playhouse’s Prison Plays series was created to give writers serving time in prisons all around the country a voice through theater. Presented in collaboration with the PEN America Prison Writing Program. Open-Door Playhouse has presented work from the PEN Prison Writing Program as well as work submitted independently.
