The production is based on a book by GRT member Heidi Mendez Harrison, who was a volunteer for two years at a juvenile detention center in Utah. While there, she was moved by the background stories of the kids there and asked them to write them down for her. Their response to her, "Why? Who will care?" And Heidi told them that she would care and that she would get others to care too. By producing HALLWAYS: Stories from Juvie, the entire Group Rep membership now cares, and we hope you will too.
