On Stage This Weekend: Dead Man Walking

You have two more chances to catch the Marshall Theatre Alliance production Dead Man Walking at Marshall's Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Tim Robbins’ dramatic adaption of Sister Helen Prejean’s autobiographical book, Dead Man Walking, has been performed by over 170 universities nationwide and is scheduled to open in New York next year. The Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project enlists the power of theatre arts to enliven the national discourse on the death penalty. The story unfolds as Sister Helen gives witness to the emotional roller coaster of death row inmate, Matthew Poncelet, as well as the deep heartache of his victims and their family members.

You can also see some great photos in the Herald-Dispatch photo gallery.
