Post-screening discussion with Shawn Whitsell, Destiny Theatre Experience, and guests
Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theater group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy — in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors. “A quiet declaration of art's redemptive powers.” ––Lovia Gyarkye, Hollywood Reporter
“Domingo's transcendent performance may be the center, but it's the world that flowers all around him that makes SING SING feel so special.” ––Katey Rich, Vanity Fair
“The former prisoners playing themselves bring verisimilitude to SING SING, with [Clarence] Maclin particularly crucial. But Domingo brings the storm and the heart… It’s another sign that the time has come for this deep and soulful actor to get some real attention.” ––Steve Pond, The Wrap
