In an intensive program, participants are challenged to explore the identity issues people struggle with after incarceration, addressing the deeply rooted emotional conflicts that returning citizens experience as they work to reclaim and assert their authentic and creative selves. Through the performance, participants collaborate to enact a threshold crossing to formally mark their transition from prison back into their communities and into a new stage of life. The immersive theatrical experience and communal message culminates in a collective rite of passage, bolstering transformation, healing, and hope. BIOThe Reentry Theater of Harlem (RTH) is an avant-garde theater by and for people who have lived experience in the U.S. criminal legal system. RTH utilizes theatrical rites of passage to confront and overcome the shame, stigma, and trauma of incarceration, empowering people’s transition from prison back to society. IMAGE CAPTION:  Reentry Theater of Harlem, Ritual for Return performance, Stella Adler Studios, 2021
