Since 2009, Conspire Theatre has been conducting theatre and creative writing workshops with incarcerated women at the Travis County Correctional Complex. Our class gives these women a space in which to try on new possibilities for making different choices, and for exploring what holds them back in their lives. For many women, our class is "the only place where no one tells us to shut up and sit down." Both the Travis County Sheriff's Office and the women themselves welcome our presence, and now we want to do more.
There's a new program at the jail for women in Maximum Security, and the social services coordinator has invited us to start a brand new class for them. Conspire Theatre seeks to raise $3,000 by September 1st to enable us to expand our long-running program for incarcerated women into Maximum Security at the Travis County Jail. You can help us by making a gift today!
