THE EXONERATED by Jessica Blank & Erik Jensen

November 12 - December 5, 2004

Imagine everything you did between the years of 1976 and 1992. Now remove all of it. Those 16 years were taken away from Sunny Jacobs, convicted and sentenced to death for a crime she did not commit. But her story is not unique. And it could happen just as easily to you. The Exonerated shares the true stories of six innocent survivors of death row. Their stories, told in their own words. Stories you won't ever forget.

Winner: 2003 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards
