Pittsfield: Performance shares stories of formerly incarcerated men

2nd Street will present “Repair,” a live, full-length performance integrating storytelling, music and movement, at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12, and 2 and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13, at Berkshire Community College’s Robert Boland Theatre, 1350 West St.

A cast of professional actors will bring to life the stories and life experiences of formerly incarcerated men in Berkshire County. Each performance will be followed by a talk-back, during which time audience members can ask the cast questions directly.

The performances are free and open to the public.

“Repair” is a companion to “Using Our Outside Voices,” a collection of poetry, short fiction and other literary work by presently or formerly incarcerated individuals in Berkshire County planned for publication later this year, and “Insight Out,” a juried exhibition of visual art created by presently or formerly incarcerated individuals in Berkshire County held at the Berkshire Museum in September 2023.
