AUDIENCE REVIEWS

HipHop Hamlet 2017 (3).jpg

“Every time I see a PPA performance, the human face of the criminal justice system becomes more in focus.”

“It helps you see them as real people, instead of faceless number.”

“This performance helped me understand how much inmates can evolve and be empowered.”
