A contemporary southern gothic play about a Residential Reentry Center for women located in the backwoods of Crawford County Georgia. A recent inmate, Sarah Wheaton (Jackie Coffin), is finding it difficult to adjust to the ramshackle, cockroach infested, halfway house, which is operated by Mama and her son Henry (Aaron Compagna). She is also confronted by a less than agreeable fellow inmate, Elizabeth Johnston (Ellie Willis). Despite these hardships, Sarah is determined to prove she can fit in to avoid an even worse fate – being sent back to the county jail to serve out the rest of her sentence.

Intended for mature audiences.

Sunday performances on April 30 and May 7 will be followed by an audience talkback session with the playwright, directors, and cast members.
