"A Life Behind Bars" is actor/bartender/storyteller, Dan Ruth's award-winning solo performance about working, drinking and surviving the dives and seedy haunts of pre-Giuliani Brooklyn and Manhattan. "A Life Behind Bars" is a "tour de force black comedy" and an unapologetic and transcendent tale of what can happen when you move to New York City to reach for the stars but grab for the bottle instead. In Los Angeles, "A Life Behind Bars" won the Producer’s Encore Award at the Hollywood Fringe, and in New York City where Ruth took home a Bistro Award for Outstanding Solo Play, the 2018 Best Spoken Word Artist award from the Manhattan Association of Cabarets, and the winner for Best Autobiographical Show at the 2016 United Solo Festival which propelled Ruth into a year-long run at The Laurie Beechman Theatre in 2017. In 2020, Ruth was a recipient of the Jeremy O. Harris Pet Project Grant.
"A Life Behind Bars" was recently honored with "Best of Fest 2025" by the Whitefire Theatre's Solofest Solo Theatre Festival, and will be presented as an encore performance on Sunday, May 25th at 7pm.
