He also teaches as a Lecturer in the Metropolitan College Prison Education Program.  Mr. Luthra trained at the East 15 Acting School in London and at Shakespeare and Company in Lenox, MA.

Mr. Luthra spoke with AR 766 students about his motivation in working with communities who have not been permitted to tell their story, and the role theater can play in addressing inequitable power relationships.
