Acting out : how a prison theatre workshop broke free / by Hoehler, Richard,Author(DLC)n 2024036912;
When Richard Hoehler first walked through the doors of a medium-security prison in upstate New York, he assumed it would be a one-time thing. A busy freelance writer, actor, and teacher, he'd been invited by a friend to lead an acting class for inmates. It was an intimidating prospect, but at the very least, he hoped the experience might give him new ideas for his teaching work on the outside. What Hoehler could not have anticipated was that his first class was the beginning of a life-changing odyssey, one that would see him leading a visionary, incredibly popular series of acting and writing workshops that culminated in full productions for rapt audiences. Acting Out is Hoehler's unforgettable account of his journey working with men whom society has locked away and written off as irredeemable. In his telling, we witness a rare kind of theatrical magic: faced with a dehumanizing and often arbitrary prison system, participants work to express themselves and connect with dramatic works where anger, compassion, forgiveness, and tears pour forth in a safe and supportive environment. Steering clear of both cynicism and sentimentality, this is the remarkable story of theatre's ability to change lives even in the most unlikely of settings.

After the blessing : Mexican American veterans of WWII tell their own stories / by Read, Esther Bonilla,1937-editor.;
Mexican Americans in the United States -- World War II Terms, Places, and Some Important Events -- Prelude to War -- Introduction -- European/Atlantic Theater -- The Pacific Theater -- Prisoners of War -- Also Affected.Many Catholic families blessed their children before they left home. After the Blessing tells the stories of many young Mexican Americans who left home to fight for their country. During the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), many families fled Mexico to prevent their underage sons from being forced to fight. Ironically, the offspring of these immigrants often ended up across the ocean in a much larger war. Despite the bias and mistreatment most Mexican Americans faced in the US, some 500,000 fought bravely for their country during World War II. Their stories range from hair-raising accounts of the Battle of the Bulge to gut-wrenching testimony about cannibalism in the Pacific. In After the Blessing Mexican Americans reveal their experiences in combat during WWII-stories that have rarely been told.
