The play follows Arlene, a character played by two actresses, as she tries to piece her life in Louisville back together after being recently released from prison for second-degree murder. The question at the heart of the play is, can Arlene beat the odds and become a better person? Or is she doomed to a life of crime? The production is for mature audiences and contains profanity and adult themes.
