Out Of The Ashes is a 2 man drama therapy-inspired presentation that highlights a remarkable tale of redemption and familial reconnection—one that will forever change your perspective on incarceration and how parents reconnect with their children. The live presentation of Out Of The Ashes is coming to Georgia.

Against the backdrop of a city grappling with one of the nation’s highest rates of crimes, a father-son duo, Coley Harris and Ahmarr Melton, have emerged as symbols of hope and transformation. Their story, chronicled in the powerful “Out of the Ashes: Where a Seed Finds Life,” resonates deeply with individuals of all backgrounds, transcending race and ethnicity to address the universal challenges faced by families affected by incarceration.

Coley’s journey from a troubled youth to a man seeking redemption is a testament to the power of transformation. Raised in a modest neighborhood, he found himself drawn to the streets at an early age, ultimately leading him down a destructive path. By the time his son, Ahmarr, was born, Coley was mired in a life of drug addiction and crime. In 1994, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison, leaving behind a two-year-old son.

For Ahmarr, growing up without his father was a challenging reality. He spent his formative years under the care of his mother and grandparents, shielded from the harsh truth of his father’s incarceration. It wasn’t until 2008, when Ahmarr was 16, that the two were reunited. The subsequent journey of reconciliation and healing forms the heart of “Out of the Ashes,” offering a candid portrayal of the struggles faced by incarcerated fathers and their children and how they’ve overcome.

Today, Coley and Ahmarr work tirelessly to share their story with others in similar situations. The father-son team serves as living proof that with diligence, perseverance, and forgiveness, love can indeed conquer all.
