WHO AM I? Where is home?

---

 A mob boss’s stepdaughter named Hope and an undocumented boy named Chance fall in love. Chance wants to save Hope from being forced to marry a crooked cop. 

But after an explosion changes her face and wipes her memory, they can’t recognize each other. 

And what has she left behind to find her?  

Not even a glass slipper. 

Only some slippery glasses.

The play is an offbeat musical fairy tale in which 

romance, mystery and comedy collide: ...

            ..imagine Cinderella 

             directed by Hitchcock 

       in A Funny Thing Happened 

        On the Way to the Forum.

But the play also has meaning beyond a simple

• fairy tale
• mystery
• or farce 

Have you ever 

• Seen your home vanish in an airplane window?
• Left home to be on your own?
• or lost family?

Hope and Chance lost homes too, but then escaped into dreams,   

Hope dreamt of the home she once had with her departed mother.

Chance dreamt of a home he never knew.       

But to find a real home, they couldn't return to a past that no longer existed.  

They needed to develop an identity of resilience, independence, and self-worth.  

To find home, they first needed first to find themselves.
