Gritty City Repertory presents
Caught Up
by Lindsay Krumbein, Robert Paige & Tom Bruett
December 6th-8th & 13th-15th @ 8 pm; December 9th @ 2 pm
Meet Reggie and Auntie J, a family struggling to retain their humanity and hope for the future as they navigate the prison industrial complex, a system that is NOT broken, a system explicitly designed and built by the corporate and political interests of this country.
A collage of physical theatre, scripted and experimental scenes, original music, story theatre, and verbatim monologues, Caught Up creates a powerful chronology of America’s journey from the post-Civil War Black Codes, to the private prisons of today.

After the tragic death of Hamlet’s father, the prince is forced to acknowledge the insidious corruption throughout his kingdom. But can injustices be overcome without destroying the powers that sustain them—including Hamlet’s own place at the heart of it?
