"The Exonerated"

Maggie says:
This weekend is your last chance to see "The Exonerated," playing at the Adobe Theater through Sunday. 1/3 of m-pyre saw it last weekend, and the other two are going tonight. To be honest, we'd see pretty much anything involving Gene Grant and Darryl DeLoach, but this one means more. It's about something that really matters.

"The Exonerated" has gotten fabulous reviews from our local dailies, and this week the Alibi adds to the praise, calling it "one of the finest pieces of social theater I've ever seen in Albuquerque."

Kerry Max Cook, falsely imprisoned for 22 years on death row, is one of six innocent death row inmates portrayed in "The Exonerated." This weekend, the real-life Cook will attend the talk-backs after the performance, driving home the poignance of this play and the significance of this issue.

Help support great social theater in Albuquerque this weekend. We hope to see you there!
