Join us for the world premiere of Beyond Punishment: Stories of Justice and Healing, an original interview-based theater performance co-produced by the Justice Beyond Punishment Collaborative (JBPC) and Ping Chong and Company! 

Written and directed by Kirya Traber in collaboration with the performers, “Beyond Punishment” follows the lives of four remarkable individuals who grapple with the intersections and impacts of interpersonal and state violence. This production, performed by the storytellers themselves, gives insight into their lives, leadership, and healing journeys. Together, their stories encourage us to imagine justice beyond a punitive system that begets further violence.

Presented by and with support from Weeksville Heritage Center and Hi-ARTS, these performances will be free and open to all.
