Public Radio International’s show Studio 360 will be airing a segment about Rehabilitation Through The Arts on WNYC 93.9 FM Saturday, June 5th at 4:00 PM and Sunday, June 6th  at 11:00 AM. The show can also be heard on the 820 AM station on Sunday at 2:00 PM.

Studio 360 visited Sing Sing on three separate occasions for the piece, which focuses on the RTA production of Starting Over, a prisoner-written play about family relationships.  The play was performed last March for an enthusiastic audience of  prisoners and over 250 community guests.

 According to producer Jordan Sayle, “The story attempts to find the emotional heart of what is accomplished on stage at Sing Sing. I know that I was deeply moved by what I witnessed.”

Go to Studio 360  to hear the show and see additional photos of Starting Over.
