PRISON BOXING is a MUST-SEE one-woman show about a Juilliard actress’ 23-year career teaching theater in maximum-security prisons… “a tiny play about a huge problem know as incarceration – and one woman’s efforts to create change, one inmate at a time.”

Leah Joki skillfully plays 14 characters as she takes us on a sometimes humorous to utterly horrifying ride: an abused woman who killed her husband to protect her children, a heroin addict, a rape victim and a convict who loves apple pies!

“For those of you who have not had the privilege of a prison experience, Joki’s play is as close as you might venture to grasp a glimpse of what society supports yet simultaneously shields itself from.”

PRISON BOXING is “important… because of the way Joki’s play addresses with such humanity the industrial prison complex in this country.”  It is the stuff movies are made of.
