THE EXONERATED

Written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen
Directed by Charlotte Tiencken

“Innocent until proven guilty.” But who’s doing the proving, and what if the proof isn’t true? Six innocent inmates on death row share how they got there, their struggles to rebuild a life sentenced to death, and—most importantly—how it could happen to any of us. Drawn from over 40 real interviews, The Exonerated is the award-winning play and brutal indictment about how our criminal legal system can get things horribly wrong.

All performances Pay-What-You-Will at the door ($25 suggested donation)

The Exonerated contains stories about violence and rape, gunshot sound effects, and racial slurs.
