Author: Emmanuel Daudu June 7, 2023 Duration: 1:01:24

Bruce Levitt is a Professor of Media Arts at Cornell University and the Lead Facilitator of the Phoenix Players Theatre Group, a theatre group based at Auburn Correctional Facility. On Friday nights, you won't see Bruce in the club, at dinner, or relaxing after a hard week's work. Rather, you will see him in prison supporting incarcerated gentlemen in finding their theatrical voice. Hear about Bruce's belief in the arts as a transformative catalyst for an incarcerated person's journey through traumas and into expressing the full spectrum of their humanity.
