Heman Stark Correctional Facility Wards Team with
Theatre Group to Write an Original Play
CHINO – Saturday, a professional artist presented before a live audience the formal “read-through” of an original play written by fifteen juvenile offenders from the Heman G. Stark Youth Correctional Facility.
The effort was made possible through an alliance with the Southern California-based Unusual Suspects Theatre Company -- a non-profit organization of professional artists who work to bring theatre arts to youth, ages 12-21, from the foster care and juvenile justice systems. The juvenile offenders, or ‘wards’ as they are called within the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), spent seven weeks with the theatre company, learning the basics of theatre, script writing and role-playing.
