Featured Work
I was almost part of the school-to-prison pipeline. Now I’m helping people understand the problem with a new play, The 100th Day.
In partnership with the Demand to Learn campaign, Rising Youth Theatre created The 100th Day, an original theatre production. This collaboration highlights the injustice and discrimination within Arizona’s education system and allows audience members to learn through young people’s eyes.
