SUMMARY:Don't Miss Theatre Oxford’s Production of "The Exonerated' on September 8 and 9
DESCRIPTION:Six Compelling Stories About Death Row Survivors Offered in Theatre Oxford’s Latest Production\n\n\n\nSixty-year-old Delbert Tibbs is an old soul from Chicago\, a seminary dropout\,military veteran\, radical\, poet\, and death row survivor. He’s also a Black man whohappened to be on a highway near a small Florida town soon after a man was killedand a young woman raped. Both were white. Enough reason for the cops to arresthim. \n\n\n\n“This is not the place for thought that does not end in concreteness\,” narratorDelbert Tibbs tells us in The Exonerated. “It is dangerous to dwell too much onthings. To wonder who or why or when to wonder how – is dangerous. How do we\,the people\, get outta this hole\, What’s the way to fight?” \n\n\n\nDelbert Tibbs’ story is one of a half-dozen told in Theatre Oxford’s production of TheExonerated at the Powerhouse Arts Center Saturday\, September 8\, at 7:30 p.m.\, andSunday\, September 9\, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. A panel discussion by TuckerCarrington\, the founding director of the Mississippi Innocence Project\, and CliffJohnson\, the director of the MacArthur Justice Center\, will follow both eveningproductions. \n\n\n\nThe production is made possible by the support of Frye | Reeves Attorneys at Law\,the Mississippi Arts Commission\, and Yoknapatawpha Arts Council.Authored by Jessica Blank and Erik Jenson\, The Exonerated shares true stories ofwrongfully convicted survivors of death row. Directing the Theatre Oxfordproduction is theatre veteran Felipe Esteban Macias. \n\n\n\nThe stories tell of resilience\, faith\, and post-traumatic stress. They range fromracially motivated arrests and convictions of a hippie falsely accused of murderinghis parents to a mother who innocently catches a ride with a driver who will kill twopolice officers before the ride is over. \n\n\n\n“We have six wonderful stories wrapped up in one play\,” Macias says about TheExonerated.  Taken from interviews\, letters\, transcripts\, case files\, and public records\, the storiesoffer sobering insights into the nation’s criminal justice system and capital punishment.  \n\n\n\n“The Exonerated” won the 2003 Drama Desk and Outer Critic’s Awardsand also received the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ Championof Justice Award. \n\n\n\nTickets will be available at the door and seats can be reserved athttps://oxfordarts.com/theatreoxford. \n\n\n\nThe Powerhouse is located at 413 South 14th Street in Oxford (on the corner ofUniversity Avenue).
