Episode: A play born in a prison gets a full staging in a sold-out Chicago theater
Description: It started with a handful of incarcerated men having huddled conversations about writing inside the Dixon Correctional Center in northern Illinois.
Over the past few years, that’s grown into the Mud Theatre Project in Chicago.

WBEZ’s Mike Davis takes us behind the scenes of the new play Searching for Justice.
