Outside the Wire

 

V.TOW.Outside.the.Wire.logo

“Outside the Wire is a social impact company that uses theater and a variety of other media to address pressing public health and social issues, such as combat-related psychological injury, end of life care, prison reform, political violence and torture, domestic violence, and the de-stigmatization of the treatment of substance abuse and addiction.

We present dramatic readings of powerful literary works-by authors such as Sophocles, Aeschylus, Seneca, Shakespeare, and O’Neill-to create safe environments for open dialogue about difficult and sometimes divisive subjects.”
