FIRST PERSON SINGULAR: Wanted Man: Johnny Cash at San Quentin

Johnny Cash may have done time only for picking flowers one night after curfew, but his fellowship with prisoners knew no bounds. On the album At San Quentin, playing for an audience of riotously grateful convicts, he sounds not only humbled by his freedom, but shamed by it. He understood the struggle of walking the line, and knew that but for the grace of God (or June Carter) he - the Man in Black - might well be wearing prison blues. Wanted Man will present Josh Pollock and the East Bay Three in a rocking reinterpretation of this legendary performance. To make the experience complete, we'll need a house of roaring inmates. Been out of your cell lately? 

Join us as we revisit a powerful moment in Bay Area history, and underscore the drama and literary value of Cash's music by presenting it in a theatrical context.

Performed by
Josh Pollock and the East Bay Three: Joe Lewis, Anton Patzner, and Laura Weinbach
