    About This Event

    "The Fear of 13" is a one-man play adapted from the life of Nick Yarris, who spent over two decades on death row for a crime he did not commit. Written by Yarris himself, the narrative explores themes of justice, redemption, and the psychological toll of wrongful incarceration. Directed by David S. Frank, the production combines elements of memoir and drama, presenting Yarris's harrowing experiences and reflections on life, death, and the human capacity for resilience. This poignant account offers audiences a profound meditation on the complexities of the legal system and the enduring hope for truth and freedom.
