“A film like Sing Sing is a rare, precious achievement — a cinematic work of unique empathy and hand-turned humanity, hewed from the heart, with rigorous attention paid to the creative process.” – Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times

Sing Sing is a revelation” – Fletcher Peters, Daily Beast

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 23 SCREENINGS ARE CANCELED DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. REFUNDS ARE BEING PROCESSED.

Colman Domingo stars as Divine G, a man who is imprisoned at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison for a crime he did not commit and finds purpose as an actor in Greg Kwedar’s entrancing drama that has received 3 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards®, Sing Sing.  

Inspired by Sing Sing Correctional Facility’s Rehabilitation Through the Arts Program (RTA) and shot at a decommissioned prison, the story takes place as the group prepares a new production and Divine G girds himself for a clemency bid. A talented performer and a leader among the troupe, he is used to deciding what plays to mount only to find his authority challenged when tough new member Divine Eye (real-life RTA alumnus Clarence Maclin in a remarkable debut) suggests that they should stage their first original comedy.  

Domingo delivers an amazing performance as a man putting in the work to redeem himself in a film that reveals the humanity of the incarcerated while celebrating the joy of performance, telling a narrative of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art. RTA alumni, Paul Raci, and Magic Theatre Artistic Director Sean San José costar. 

Directed by Greg Kwedar, U.S.A., 2023, DCP, 107 mins.
