DESCRIPTION: <p>Strategic Partnerships Liaison &amp; Senior Grant Writer @ The Fortune Society<br><br>The story of The Fortune Society begins with a play. In 1966, Fortune founder David Rothenberg read the script for Fortune and Men&rsquo;s Eyes by playwright John Herbert. Deeply moved by the author&rsquo;s depiction of his own traumatic prison experience, David endeavored to take the play Off-Broadway, where it premiered the following year. After each show, the cast held a talkback session to engage the audience in the real-world issues reflected on stage. David realized, however, that one play wouldn&rsquo;t be enough to remedy just how little the public knew about the criminal justice system. There had to be a platform for people who had experienced incarceration firsthand. There had to be a movement, with the voices and perspectives of these individuals at the center. Thus, in 1967, The Fortune Society was born.</p>
