LOS ANGELES–Found Suitable, conceived and produced by Susan Franklin Tanner and directed by James Macdonald, is a staged reading based upon the writing and stories of four residents of The Francisco Homes transitional housing for Lifers—men on parole from life sentences. Their words were edited by playwrights Bonnie Banfield and Doris Baizley. The material was developed during LIFER: Life Stories from the Inside/Out workshops by Macdonald and Tanner. The piece will be performed by Lifers Anthony M., H. Solis., Jim E. & Mike W. The performance will be followed by a Second Act Discussion with the Audience, Facilitated by Luis J. Rodriguez, former Poet Laureate of Los Angeles and author of Always Running.
