Broken Clock

Broken Clock is an original play created by the Maine Inside Out Creative Ensemble about incarceration, gun violence, grief, family, trust, and time. MIO’s Creative Ensemble is a group of staff and Lewiston community artists using theater to explore themes connected to our identities, life experiences, and the world in which we exist together.

Chasing your mom’s car down the street…being given your first gun…finding brotherhood in the streets…fighting for a loved one to come home from prison… These are a few of the moments from Broken Clock expressed through theater, poetry, music, and dance.


Show Development

The play was first performed in June 2024 for the Lewiston Juneteenth Festival “The City That Carries Us: Pain, Streets, and Heartbeats” and later developed in residency at Celebration Barn. The play is created by and continually developed by the performing cast with facilitation by Amanda Huotari. The play also features audio recordings of currently incarcerated MIO artists. Following the performance, the audience will be invited to dialogue with the performers about the themes of the play.
