Participants connect across diverse experiences and build art together that challenges assumptions and myths, and inspires understanding and healing. Wonderlust's process of working with participants to create the script requires constant live feedback. We will also use pre and post-process surveys to quantify participants' feelings about the process and the product. 2: Wonderlust and the community create a script that engages a general audience so they see the effects of the incarceration system in all our lives. Wonderlust will present readings of the script for the public and inside the system with a discussion after each reading to learn what and how the play resonates with the audience.
