“Confessions of a Hopeful Southerner…in Front of Strangers.” Written and performed by Melinda Grace. Directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson.

Mel is a young woman from the South (Texas, specifically) and she is attempting to forge a life and career for herself in the Big Apple. New York can be rough and harsh on a young woman. However, Mel has a tough-as-nails (but fair) acting teacher. Mel also seeks comfort in the characters and writings of Southern playwright Tennessee Williams (particularly his lesser-known works).

Melinda Grace portrays 19 characters in the presentation of Mel’s story.
