Colman Domingo calls Rehabilitation through the Arts a “sanctuary” for inmates, a place where they don't need permission to act giddy or goofy.
“It makes you strip off your masks — the ones you didn’t know you were wearing — and really be more present,” Clint Bentley said.as he entered Green Haven Correctional Facility in upstate New York. He was led through another gate, and then another, and another, followed by corridors with looming, concrete walls. The building, as lore went, served briefly as a prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, before becoming what it is today: a maximum-security prison.
In contrast, Clarence “Divine Eye” Maclin, a newcomer to the theater program and a fictionalized version of the actor, is short-fused and accustomed to asserting his dominance in the prison yard. The ensemble cast is anchored by a group of men who were also formerly incarcerated. “Once you get hit with a sentence, whatever it’s for, your life then becomes defined by your worst moment,” Bentley said.
