Promethea In Prison Tickets

Promethea in Prison is a core artist within Theater of War Productions’ Prometheus in Prison project, a collaboration that blends classical tragedy with contemporary discussions on incarceration and the justice system. The performer contributes to powerful dramatic readings of Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, paired with facilitated conversations aimed at public understanding and empathy. Promethea’s work sits at the intersection of theatre, social justice, and education, making each performance a meaningful experience for audiences in New York, Michigan, and beyond.

The project, co-founded in 2009 by Bryan Doerries and Phyllis Kaufman, has grown into a multidisciplinary effort that includes digital initiatives, public talks, and collaborations with universities, correctional facilities, and community organizations. Doerries continues as artistic director, sustaining a mission to make ancient texts speak to today’s societal challenges.

From early NYC appearances to on-site discussions at Rikers Island and university stages, Promethea in Prison participates in events that encourage dialogue about privilege, punishment, and humanity. Notable moments include the 2017 Bronx NeON reading in New York City, the 2018 invitation-only session at Rikers Island, and the 2019 public reading at Pasant Theatre, Wharton Center (Michigan State University), featuring acclaimed actors Sonja Sohn and Deirdre Lovejoy. For upcoming years, Theater of War’s official site continues to list digital and live events, including innovative formats like On the Radio in NYC.
