JACK & is a theater performance that considers the metric-less damages of being in prison; not the time one has served but the measure of one’s dreaming that is given to the state. Making its world premiere at the CAC, JACK & focuses on re-entry to society. Aspirational class stories like those of the 1950’s sitcoms “The Honeymooners” and “Amos and Andy” intersect with real and imagined society-entering ceremonies like debutante balls. Directed by Kaneza Schaal and starring Cornell ‘Nate’ Alston, the artists explore markers of transition and the luminal spaces that bridge worlds.
