Directed by Greg Kwedar and starring Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci, and Sean San José, Sing Sing tells the story of Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit. Divine finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.
This event is sponsored by the Office of Campus life and is organized by the reentry committee at Lehman College. Reentry@Lehman aims to create a welcoming, supportive, and respectful learning environment for all Lehman students impacted by the criminal justice system, including those who have experienced incarceration and those who have family members who are currently or were formerly incarcerated. We seek to address the unique challenges faced by formerly incarcerated students by educating the campus community about these challenges, while also providing support for the students’ academic enrollment, registration, financial aid and referrals to campus and community-based resources and partners that address specific needs such as housing, employment, legal services, personal finances, and scholarship information.
