A Winn Dixie Supermarket. Daytona Beach, Florida. Circa 1970s. A stolen pack of Trident gum. An eight year old thief. Her mother. The Boyfriends. The Husbands. Jim "Bo Bo" Lehrer. And (of course), Jesus. It's a crowded crime scene, especially considering it's a one woman show. Stephanie Stephenson's acclaimed show comes to New York Frigid - join her as she graduates from minor theft to bigger crimes that might just have a real impact on her life...find out if she can stop her thieving ways!
