Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

“A beacon of hope, shedding light on a crucial truth – that prisons house human beings, individuals with stories and aspirations.”
–Valerie Complex, Deadline Hollywood

“A redemptive portrait of theater’s power to heal, emancipate, and rebel.”
–Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
