Fallen Branches Plant Roots

Civic Ensemble’s ReEntry Theatre Program a creative and supportive community for people who have experienced incarceration/court involvement proudly announces its fourth production Fallen Branches Plant Roots.

Fallen Branches Plant Roots is a story of family chosen family and what it means to show up for one another. Set in Ithaca NY the play follows the stories of several community members affected by the criminal justice system as well as those with an impacted family member as they navigate their journeys towards connection and healing.

Members of the ReEntry community and involved family members both created the script and will perform in the production. For those involved the play is more than just a performance it’s an opportunity for self-realization and emotional release. As one actor expressed “This play is part of the healing journey for my family.”

Since 2015 the ReEntry Theatre Program has been inviting formerly incarcerated

community members together in weekly theatre-based sessions to explore themes and

questions in their lives build community and creatively intervene in harmful public

discourse & mythology about incarceration and those impacted by its systems. On this

project Civic Ensemble also invited people who have had or currently have a family

member impacted by the system.
