Join the Levine and BNS for scenes from "King Hedley II" followed by a panel focused on ex-offenders finding their place in our communities
About this Event

Survival is at the heart of August Wilson’s King Hedley II—a powerful story of a man fighting to rebuild his life amid poverty, violence, and the lasting impact of incarceration.


BNS, in partnership with Levine Museum, invites the community to experience selected scenes from the play followed by a community conversation with representatives from Freedom Fighting Missionaries and the Center for Community Transitions. Together, artists and community leaders will explore how best to support to best support ex-offenders as they establish their place in community and how the idea of second chances resonate beyond the stage and into real lives.


This community conversation uses storytelling as a bridge to dialogue, offering space to reflect, learn, and connect around justice/resilience, and the paths forward for individuals and families impacted by incarceration.
