Community Conversations: Second Chances
Wednesday, March 18, 2026
6 to 8 p.m.
The VAPA Center
700 N Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC

Survival is at the heart of August Wilson’s King Hedley II—a powerful story of a man fighting to rebuild his life amid poverty, violence, and the lasting impact of incarceration.
BNS Productions, in partnership with Levine Museum, invites the community to experience selected scenes from the play followed by a community conversation with representatives from Freedom Fighting Missionaries and the Center for Community Transitions. Together, artists and community leaders will explore how best to support formally incarcerated individuals as they establish their place in community, and how the idea of second chances resonate beyond the stage and into real lives.
This community conversation uses storytelling as a bridge to dialogue, offering space to reflect, learn, and connect around justice, resilience, and the paths forward for individuals and families impacted by incarceration.
Light refreshments will be available.
