Midwest town. Forced into marriage due to an unexpected pregnancy, former beauty queen Lola and recovering alcoholic Doc live a quiet life of heartbreak and regret until Marie, a young college student, becomes their boarder.
This intimate and explosive immersive experience features American Blues Theater Ensemble members Philip Earl Johnson, Joslyn Jones, Gwendolyn Whiteside, and Artistic Affiliates Maya Hlava, Cisco Lopez, and William Anthony Sebastian Rose II.
