In this tenth podcast we meet Charlie Grosso, released last year after serving 40 years behind bars where he underwent a profound transformation of character. Charlie is now a full time student at John Jay College and an active member of Acting Out where he recently performed three roles in the December 2020 production of Inside Out. Charlie is currently employed at a homeless shelter in Albany, NY where he works hard to better the lives of America's most unfortunate. At the top of the podcast Charlie performs a brief and unflinchingly honest monologue from Clifford Odets' Rocket to the Moon and he closes with a poignant reading from Desiderata, a classic poem that inspired and sustained him during his long incarceration.
