The National Park Service invited We Players to engage in a monumental collaboration on Alcatraz Island. This groundbreaking partnership has utilized site-specific performing arts, and local outreach and education programming to provoke critical thought and stimulate conversation on the Alcatraz themes of incarceration, isolation, justice and redemption.

In addition to engaging the visiting public through site-specific rehearsals and performances, We Players and the National Park Service are creating lasting and transferable tools that use performance elements to augment park interpretation. We are also building partnerships with local artists, educators and advocacy groups, facilitating workshops, and creating new art inspired by the Alcatraz themes and history.

The National Park Service preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations.  The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world.
