Description

Dramatic Performance and Talk Back. 

Straight from her sold-out 2018 New York tour of The Peculiar Patriot, artist Liza Jessie Peterson has done it again with her new play, Down the Rabbit Hole. The play is the story of Peterson's journey into the prison system over two decades and how this starry-eyed actress tumbled down the rabbit hole of mass incarceration to find great purpose teaching incarcerated teenagers at Rikers Island while fighting to keep her dream of being an artist alive. With striking clarity, sharp humor, and heartfelt insight, Peterson's journey unfolds as her depth of inquiry reveals a shockingly entrenched system unique to the USA. 

In collaboration with Hofstra University Museum of Art exhibition Hidden in Sight: Photographing Incarceration, on view.
