More Than A Number

The play More Than a Number breaks down the walls between incarcerated citizens and the outside world. Originally written and performed by a group of men at the Nebraska State Penitentiary this play shatters misconceptions and reveals the common thread of our humanity. Sharing glimpses of life before prison, crucial moments of choice, life inside and their hopes for the future, the play creates a tapestry of lived experience.
More Than a Number will be performed at Benson Theatre featuring a cast of formerly incarcerated citizens and professional actors. Each performance will be followed by a community conversation.

Written by members of the 7th Step Club at Nebraska State Penitentiary. Adapted for the stage by Colleen O’Doherty, Directed by Haley Haas, Associate Director, Barry Carman.
