GUESTS: Jessica Blank, author of “The Exonerated,” Arthur Carmona, Southern California-based exoneree
Since 1990, 200 men and women have been wrongly convicted of serious felonies and have served time in California prisons for crimes they did not commit. Such injustices will be the focus of a conference this weekend at the UCLA School of Law. It’s called The Faces of Wrongful Conviction Conference. The conference will be largest gathering of Californian exonerees in history. As part of the conference, there will be a one-time performance of the award winning play, “The Exonerated,†on Saturday April 8th. Based on the experience of six survivors of death row, “The Exonerated,†is written by Jessica Blank and Eric Jensen. Directed by Marty Papazian, the play is a powerful take on the death penalty. The New York Times has hailed “The Exonerated,†as the number one play of the year.
The Exonerated will be showing on Saturday, April 8th, 2006 at 8:00pm at the Northwest Campus Auditorium, UCLA. TICKETS: $35 (for tickets call 323-939-5475).
The play is part of a conference, “The Faces of Wrongful Convictions,” hosted by the UCLA School of Law. For program information or to register, call 323-939-5475, or visit www.stopwrongfulconvictions.org.
