Keeping the Faith is a Community Participation Program of the Pat Graney Company. In 2011, I directed the artists-in-residency program at Mission Creek Corrections Center for Women. Over the course of three months, I collaborated with 19 incarcerated women to create a one-hour performance. The show was performed to an audience that included women incarcerated at the facility, correctional staff and members of the general public. For more information go to www.patgraney.org/education

The readings presented in the performance are written and performed by the program participants. The performers generated the vocal score during workshops with Ivory Smith. Clips from interviews with family and friends (outside of the prison) were also included in the score.
