RTA's uses theater and other creative arts to offer prisoners a safe and supportive structure in which to build community and respect for self and for others, and to recognize a sense of achievement in the often brutalizing and harsh prison environment.
RTAs creative arts program improves literacy, communication, presentation and problem solving skills; increases self-confidence and self-discipline, respect for self and others; improves relationships with peers, family and prison staff, understanding of group collaboration, team building, peer tolerance and non-violent conflict resolution.

This program looks wonderful! The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts recently had a similar program, Staging Old Masters, which you can see videos about on Youtube as well as on the site oldmasters.pulitzerarts.org.
