“Human Again” is an emotional and inspiring documentary focusing the Phoenix Players Theatre Group at Auburn Correctional maximum-security prison. Cinemapolis will host a free screening of “Human Again” Sunday April 27 at 2:30.
The film follows the group as they prepare for an original play combining Shakespearean influences and the actors' own lived experiences.
Michael Rhynes, host of “The Undiscovered Country” on WRFI was the group’s co-founder and is featured in the film.
He will facilitate a discussion following the screening along with several since-released members of the Phoenix Players.
Michael works with the Civic Ensemble's ReEntry Theatre Program along with Leroy Barrett. They joined WRFI's Felix Teitelbaum in studio to talk about the film and about the transformative role of theatre in the lives people impacted by the criminal justice system.
