ABOUT MICHAEL KECK:
Michael Keck is an actor, writer, and composer whose works have been
featured at professional theatres across the country and in Europe. He
frequently tours his solo performance of VOICES IN THE RAIN, a play that is
based on the lives of the disproportionately high numbers of incarcerated
minority men and too many youth for whom prison has become a rite of
passage. The play was developed from stories collected through drama
workshops with inmates, interviews with inmates and their families, letters,
and the media. In addition to writing and performing, Michael facilitates
theater workshops on such topics as: power and status; theater for social
change and multicultural understanding; home/community/identity; and
creativity, performance and expression. He conducts his workshops in various
settings including universities, schools, community centers, and
correctional facilities.  His work focuses on community building, social
change, and arts in education.
