Winter Embroidery Retreat (Jan 19 - 23)

"Invoking artistic geniuses like Biggie, Tupac, and Basquiat, he takes us on a propulsive ride that reaffirms the power of language and music. Directed by Tony Taccone, How Shakespeare Saved My Life begins with the Bard but becomes a ritual of communal salvation."

"In an autobiographical and music-filled tour-de-force, award-winning performer Jacob Ming-Trent dares to rescue himself from the “slings and arrows” of his past. Born with a gift for poetry but rejected as unfit to play the poet, his search for home yields results both hilarious and tragic."

"We develop and present stories by formerly incarcerated people, with the goal of changing the world, one story at a time. We have a packed festival of work planned with powerful solo performances, a few bonus preview events, and our popular Ask Me Anything panels."

"Their stories of incarceration and reinvention, directed by FIPPP’s team of professional theatre directors, give invaluable insight into the circumstances and choices that led to incarceration, the conditions in prison, and the post-prison experience."

"The twelve formerly incarcerated people who will perform at the festival bring a wealth of stage experience, including as standup comedians, TEDx speakers, Moth winners, Shakespeare actors, Marsh performers, and SF Fringe Festival artists."
