RTA's mission is to use the transformative power of the arts to develop social and cognitive skills that prisoners need for successful reintegration into the community. RTA also seeks to raise public awareness of the humanity behind prison walls.

​"Indeed, people in prison can, while engaged in beauty and the arts and intellectual discourse, be their noblest selves..." - Baz Dreisinger, Incarceration Nations

SUMMER INTERIOR

I was adored once. He adored me like an actor adores an audience; singled Me out for his special secret star. It was a secret. Is it Thursday? I asked the sun but it wouldn't tell. I listened to the moon too. But she lies to me; that one, always with her sweet lies.

Conference At Night, 1949

MR. BARBER: Look, buddy, my dinner’s getting colder by the minute. What’s this all about?
MRS. MATHESON: Please answer the questions, Mr. Barber. Mr. Jones is Miss Bridewell’s representative and he received some unpleasant complaints about your behavior.
MR. BARBER: My behavior? Whaddaya mean? Did I miss a deadline or something?
MRS. MATHESON: Your interpersonal behavior with some of the young ladies from the 4th floor, chiefly Miss Bridewell.

NEW YORK MOVIE

​"I always loved watching the pictures when I was a kid. Never thought I’d be working here, but I feel really lucky to have a job. So many people on the streets and outta work. There musta been a hundred guys lined up outside to apply for the job. Don’t know how Mr. Johnson even had the heart to choose one. Charlie’s nice enough, but I don’t know how he was different from any of those other kids. He just got lucky. Like me."

Edward Hopper, "Summertime" Oil on canvas, 29 1/8 x 44 in. (74 x 111.8 cm), Gift of Dora Sexton Brown, 1962, Delaware Art Museum

Summertime, 1943

The sun on my face feels so good. Yes, mama, I know, not too much sun. But I wore my hat! I know freckles are vulgar, but the sun does feel good. And what else can I do while I wait here? The sun won’t spoil my dress, and he will like to see me in this dress. I think he said 11:00. Did I dream that? Oh, he was dreamy. So handsome in his officer’s uniform.    ​

THE MUSIC ROOM

GEORGE:  Time for bed, Lucy. 
LUCY:  Maybe I can play just one song? You used to like me to play before bed.
GEORGE:  We don’t want to wake the neighbors. 
​LUCY:  Just one dance before we go.

​All the pieces except for “Summer Interior” were written by Diana Green, Artistic Director of The Children’s Shakespeare Theatre. "Summer Interior" was written by Dan Hanchrow.

SOIR BLEU

PETER - a Harlequin clown, an unlit cigarette in his lips at the start of the action.
VINCENT - Eurotrash artsy type in black beret, black sport coat and a rakish beard and mustache.
CHARLES - We only see him from the back until the very end, he is busy with something on the table in front of him.
​DORA - Actress. Intense. Dark eye make-up and very rouged cheeks. She was crying before she first enters.

THE HOLDUP

AUTOMAT

At least it’s warm in here. One nickel buys me a hot coffee and a place to warm my toes… for a short while at least. Then back to my little room. There’s that mean-faced manager again. What are you looking at? I paid for this coffee! And I have a pocket full of change. Maybe I’ll splurge and get the vanilla custard too. What would he say then?
