Curt L. Tofteland was raised in a town of fewer than 100 people in North Dakota, 100,000 acres of farmland, his backyard. The eldest of five, Curt was charged with taking care of his brothers and sister. They all slept in the same room, and he watched out for them and told them stories.
Now, Tofteland is Producing Artistic Director of the annual Kentucky Shakespeare Festival in Louisville and leads a theater troupe consisting entirely of convicted felons. Not one of the 34 Shakespeare Behind Bars participants who won parole or served out their sentence has returned to prison for committing new crimes.
