California Tour, April 2007
   In 2004, BWV began presenting Dobbs’ One Man Show in New Hampshire state
prisons as well as the Long Creek Youth Development Center in Maine. Dobbs'
performance at the youth center inspired a group of local residents to start a program
bringing music to the facility monthly. A member of the Portland Conservatory now
regularly teaches guitar and keyboard lessons. In 2005, BWV’s prison program
expanded to Connecticut as well as San Quentin State Prison in California. Having
now reached a third of California’s numerous facilities, BWV continues to expand its
reach to additional prisons through their Arts-in-Corrections program. BWV has as
board members a New Hampshire State warden and an ex-inmate who was inspired
first-hand by Dobbs’ performance.
