A small group led by David Rothenberg, the produces of the play, founded The Fortune Society. A s the needs of the ex-offenders were assessed, education proved to be the greatest. The Fortune Society Education Program was then, as it is now, the most important one provided by the society. I n addition, the society offers computer training, career development, an Alternative to Incarceration Program, family and individual case management, workshops and support groups. The fourteen-minute video, made possible by a generous donation from the Robert T. Maxon Foundation, will be used to market The Fortune Society's career development services to prospective employers.
