Strength out of Shadows

Strength out of Shadows Strength Out of Shadows is a group of artists who utilize visual, performing and media arts to create dialogue and change within their communities.

Strength out of Shadows is a grassroots, student-driven group of young people who have come together to use the arts as a medium for exploring issues of social importance in their community. Exploring possibilities through art since 2007 and officially established in 2010, this group is led by Michael Pinnix and Jennifer Little who have won critical acclaim from political leaders in New Jersey and

New York, as well as winning the Golden Bell Leadership Award for Innovation and Education from the Mental Health Association of NJ and a regional Emmy Nomination for their original devised drama, "Shadows," which explores the stories of bullying. Our more recent show, "Financial Slavery: The College Debt Sentence" will be performing at the NYC Fringe in August 2016 after a sold out, critically acclaimed debut last summer in New York.

It’s that time of the year again. SOS is fundraising for our theatre for social justice. Currently we are working on a new theatrical piece which tells the stories of migrants coming to the US seeking asylum. We are interviewing people for their stories and then creating a dramatic journey to share with the community. Any money you give goes directly to rehearsal space costs, costumes, props and our ability to bring these stories to other communities. Any donation is welcome (and tax deductible!)

SOS spent part of our day learning more about the asylum seeking process for new arrivals in our country. Did you know that when someone comes fleeing another country, terrified for their life; the first thing this country does is put them in shackles and lock them in jail? Often in facilities where they receive no relief from a cell for 22-24 hours a day. They know no one, they have no resources, and they come here looking for refuge. The Statue of Liberty weeps.
