PlayMakers presents Hidden Voices' World Premiere Performance

A Good Boy

Book & Lyrics by Lynden Harris 
Music by Marc Callahan & AJ Layague
Directed by Kathryn Hunter-Williams

An Intimate Musical

Welcome to Crossroads Correctional, where the prisoner count hasn't cleared, families are stuck in the waiting room, and a ticking clock literally hangs on the wall. As tensions mount, the captive visitors and lone guard struggle with their individual secrets, personal missions, and the previous night's execution, but the situation is out of their control. Until, in the end, it isn't.

About Hidden Voices

Since 2003, Hidden Voices has collaborated with underrepresented communities to create award-winning works that combine narrative, performance, music, digital media, interactive exhibits, and community conversations to engage audiences and participants in explorations of complex issues.

Based on years of workshops on death row, conversations with family members, and trainings with correctional officers, A GOOD BOY brings centerstage the most hidden among us: men living on death row, the families who love them, and the officers who work alongside. The characters are fictional, but all the stories they tell are true.

Post-Show Conversations

Every performance will be followed by a facilitated conversation. See below for more information.
