Justice is not blind. Let’s do something about it. 

OFF THE RECORD: Acts of Restorative Justice is a theatrical intervention aimed directly at the American Criminal Justice System and a call for audiences to activate their activism and stoke the fires of change. Invoking magic, mysticism, hard-facts, and fun games, this performance will help you build your tool kit to take the necessary next steps toward fostering systemic transformation. 

Created by former HARP artist and recent Guggenheim Fellow James Scruggs in collaboration with national criminal justice advocate Thomas Giovanni, OFF THE RECORD is directed by Michael Rohd, the founder/director of the Co-Lab for Civic Imagination at the University of Montana.
