What happens when you give a Broadway Actor a BADGE and send him to JAIL?
Within the opening lines of Actor with a Badge will be your opportunity to observe from the outside how one artist of the theatre made a second attempt at life on the inside. Not inside a play, a movie or a television show, but inside the classrooms, clinics and jails along every whistle stop on the notorious School-to-Prison Pipeline. And that's just your entry point into this story.
What will grip you further and never let you go is how a former Broadway and Hollywood actor, Tommy Demenkoff, dismantled his perceived failures at life and reckless pursuit of ShowBiz stardom to reconstruct for you the discoveries he made assembling the toolkit of his Artistic Practice.
Attempt after attempt, inside a vast landscape of challenging systems and dangerous environments, this self-anointed Theatrician boldly redesigned his career, unleashed his brash ego, and risked his life and everything he believed in attempting to reach those who were struggling inside the darkest and most broken systems that humanity struggles to change. The result is a love letter to the theatre and its undeniable ability to heal when just one actor shows up.
