“I have not sung since high school or since I have been in prison.  This is not the place where one wakes up singing.”RTA participant, Sing Sing

Vocal training began in Sing Sing along with the production of West Side Story, RTA’s first musical.  The workshop was so successful it took on a life of its own.

The group has performed a Best of Broadway concert and sang Broadway and original songs in the 2008 production of In the Silence of the Heart.

This musical workshop has been a journey of discovery – discovery of one’s own voice and the ability to listen to another’s. It takes true guts to stand up in front of other people and share one of the most vulnerable parts of being human, one’s voice.Kim Breden, RTA Musical Director
