And Still We Rise Productions

And Still We Rise Productions is a collaborative theater project based in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Employing 5 to 9 individuals, the company generates annual revenue of $1 million. And Still We Rise Productions focuses on empowering the voices of formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones through theater. They utilize a safe and creative training environment, incorporating theatre exercises and therapeutic techniques to help participants gain skills and self-confidence in sharing their personal stories. These stories are then woven together into powerful performances that aim to increase public understanding and compassion for the challenges faced by those who have been incarcerated and seek reintegration into society. The company believes the authenticity of these personal narratives will drive public awareness and support for criminal justice reform. They strive to create a vital public forum where participants can bring attention to pressing criminal justice issues, spark discussion, and inspire action for positive change.
