Doin Time: Through the Visiting Glass examines the impact of incarceration on families. Ashley Lucas, the child of an incarcerated father, conducted interviews in California, Texas, and New York with prisoners’ family members, former prisoners, and people who do work connected to prisons. She also corresponded with over 400 prisoners from across the U.S. Weaving together these interviews and letters with her personal experience as a prisoner’s child and creative writing, Lucas wrote a one-person show which she performs herself.
Tickets for Border Stories and Doin' Time are $10 for the public. A "Solo Pass" for all five shows in the Solo Takes On festival is $25 for the public. These tickets are available through the Communication Studies department at (919) 962-2311 or at the door.
