Engaged Scholar Prize, 2016

Levitt received the inaugural Engaged Scholar Prize in 2016 for his work with the Phoenix Players Theatre Group (PPTG) at Auburn (NY) Correctional Facility, a program described as “transformative” by the inmates who organize and participate in it. In his weekly visits to the prison, Levitt collaborates with the men as they express themselves through theatrical performances that range from Shakespeare to personal narratives.
