New York City Benefit
From Sing Sing to Broadway –
An Evening Without Walls
RTA held its first ever New York City Benefit Performance From Sing Sing to Broadway on Monday, June 5th, 2006, at Playwrights Horizons Theatre, 416 West 42nd Street, with special guest performance by Charles Dutton. It proved to be a fascinating and moving evening of theatre – a short program of scenes written and performed by former prisoner members of RTA, followed by a reception to meet the performers and other members of the RTA family.
