    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  you were all so great in the last production,
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  I’m going to let you pick which play
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  you get to do.
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  LUIS
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Uhhh, any Shakespeare play?
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  PLACIDIO

    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  lifetime…you lifers!
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  LUIS
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Well, I guess it’s hard to choose. There’s
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  so many…
    Suddenly, in the back of the room, ROBERT speaks up. Robert is a white-collar criminal, only here due to spillover at the “country club” prison up the road …
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  ROBERT
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Placidio has issued us a challenge. I have
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  not been the most vocal of inmates, but if
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  you’ll allow me to speak as a used-to-be
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  patron of the arts, I’d say, if I had to vote,
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  I’d vote for…Shakespeare in the Park.
    The other prisoners aren’t sure about Robert, but we can see his suggestion has an immediate attraction to them .
    Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  RAFALIO
