CCCF Presents Elektra

Two adults in custody at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility recently joined Oregon Public Broadcasting’s show, Think Out Loud, to discuss their roles in Elektra, the newest production from the Northwest Classical Theatre Collaborative and Coffee Creek Theatre. The interview offered a candid look at what it means to step into a creative space inside a correctional environment, where vulnerability, trust, and personal growth take on new meaning.

This year’s project marks the first time that women at CCCF selected the play themselves, choosing Elektra after weeks of reading and discussion that began in March. Rehearsals followed in May, with four performances held for both adults in custody and approved outside guests in late November.

During the interview, cast members reflected on how the program has helped them build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and find purpose through artistic expression. Their insights highlight the impact of theater as a tool for healing and empowerment.
