There's a town in Florida where if you shoplift and get caught, a judge will send you back to the scene of your crime to stand in front of the store with a large sign that reads, "I stole from this store." Ira Glass and Lisa Pollak talk to one such teenager who was caught stealing from a convenience store, the supervisor overseeing her punishment, and the judge who sends her there.

In 2009, we performed an episode of This American Life onstage and sent it live in HD to 430 movie theaters across the country. Dan Savage, Mike Birbiglia, and Starlee Kine all performed, plus director Joss Whedon gave a rare musical performance.

A DVD of the show is available, with extras like audio commentary, behind the scenes photos, and the surprisingly popular pre-show puzzles. You can get it here: bit.ly/2jvwjqp
