  • Ron Horton

    In this podcast, Ron Horton, one of the original members of Acting Out, shares his experience before, during, and after his 30 year incarceration. He talks about how he discovered theatre in prison and that performing and directing delivered him through some very dark years. Also, how Ron became a triple threat after joining Hoehler's Theatre Workshop at Otisville – adding playwriting to the mix. During the podcast, Ron performed a scene from August Wilson's Fences, recently seen in the Acting Out @ HB production of Talk To Me, and an excerpt from AO's upcoming original production, Inside Out.
