In 2002, Tim Robbins wrote the stage play of Dead Man Walking. Instead of having it produced on Broadway, Tim offered the play to schools and universities across the US to perform and to use as a focus for deepening reflection on one of the key moral issues of our day.

The Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project - the Play Project, for short - is an opportunity to broaden discussion about the death penalty and involve schools and their local communities in an inter-disciplinary dialogue about a major social issue.

Dozens of schools have performed the play, with dozens more planning productions for this year and next.
