“Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” at Otisville Correctional Facility

Actor, director, writer, and teacher Richard Hoehler created the Otisville Theatre Workshop at the Otisville Correctional Facility, providing an opportunity to explore the world of theatre for those incarcerated. He speaks with Hudson Mohawk Magazine’s Arts Correspondent Andrea Cunliffe about the production of “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” at Otisville State Prison, their first live production in four years!
