MCC Theater Let’s Talk Series
SAT NOV 16, 2019 at 3: 45 PM
The Newman Mills Theater at the
THE ROBERT W. WILSON MCC THEATER SPACE
511 W 52 ST
What happens when a scholar, a think tank director, a criminal defense attorney and two artists walk into a theater? They are brought together by MCC’s THE WRONG MAN, a new musical that follows Duran, a man convicted of a crime he did not commit. Through innovative artistic modes of song and choreography, THE WRONG MAN poses important questions about personal responsibility and dehumanization within the prison-industrial complex. This panel will consider possible answers about how to examine policing and prosecution, how to address their shortfalls for specific communities, and how to promote re-entry of returning citizens into society. Moderated by Dr. Kareem Crayton (Executive Director, the Southern Coalition for Social Justice) and featuring Elizabeth Felber (Supervising Attorney, the Legal Aid Society’s Wrongful Convictions Unit), THE WRONG MAN cast members Tilly Evans-Kreuger and Ciara Renée, and in partnership with the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Our monthly panel discussions bring together guest experts, community leaders, and peers to explore important issues relevant to our times or raised in our work. Panels are free and open to the public, even if you haven’t seen our work.
