Hello everyone! My name is Hannah, and I curated this website focusing on the benefits of theatre and drama programs in prison as part of my honors research project for my ENG 105 class.

As a criminology major, I am interested in analyzing deviant behavior and how we can mitigate the chances of recidivism. My concerns primarily lie with discovering what motivates individuals to commit a crime and how we can lead them away from a life of crime to one where they can positively contribute to the community in which they live.

Besides my interest in criminology, I have always been fascinated by theatre and drama productions. My dad, who was an English and Literature major, further fuelled this interest, as we would have conversations and discussions on all aspects of literature, from the works of Shakespeare to the likes of Samuel Beckett.

Through building this website for my research project, I was able to merge my love for studying criminal behavior with my fascination for literature.
