COUNT.

COUNT follows six men through a day on death row. Its fictional characters carry stories drawn from years of conversations and writing with incarcerated men, including men sentenced as children to life without parole. The play asks what it means to build a life under the prospect of scheduled death.

Written by Lynden Harris and developed through Hidden Voices, the work makes room for histories of violence, racism, poverty, and mental illness alongside humor, relationships, and love.

Snow partnered with the Center for Barth Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary to bring the reading to McCarter's Berlind Rehearsal Room. A.J. Khaw served as assistant director and created music for the presentation.

Performances took place at 3 and 7 p.m. on June 17, 2025. A panel conversation followed the evening reading, extending the encounter between the play and its audience.

The cast brought together Brandon Dion Gregory, Taylor “TV” Valentine, Gabriel Hernández, Kevis Hillocks, Garrett Turner, and Forrest McClendon.

The reading formed part of the 2025 Karl Barth Conference, The Incarcerated God: Thinking with and Beyond Barth on the Prison System. Open to the wider Princeton community, it placed theatrical storytelling alongside discussions of incarceration, justice, and theology.
