Written by Sara (Mariposa) Fonseca & Julia Steele Allen
Directed by Noelle Ghoussaini
Stage Manager/ Asst. Director: Michi Osato
Performed by: Ray Huth & Julia Steele Allen
Longtime friends and current collaborators Sara (Mariposa) Fonseca and Julia Steele Allen have written a play through the prison wall. Over the course of three years, crafted only by letters, they produced a story that is urgent, emotional and profound.
Now, from inside the isolation of solitary confinement, Mariposa speaks directly to an audience. Her words will change you.
Join us for a performance of Mariposa & the Saint followed by a dialogue with activists, advocates and survivors of solitary confinement. Partner organizations for the state include Decarcerate PA and Let's Get Free.
