Stacie Burrows was blissfully growing up rich in 1980s Houston, Texas, only to find out it wasn't real. The phone rang constantly. Why wouldn't her parents answer? She adores her father, though he made every financial blunder under the sun. She swore to never live like that. And yet, she's deep in debt, raising her own family in Los Angeles where wealth is on display. Instead of keeping up with the Joneses, she's just trying to keep up with herself, remaining true to the roots that matter. Burrows goes from well-to-do to well-to-don't in this solo music show.

Running 60 minutes, suitable for ages 12 and over.

Why see this show?

A rare solo show that fuses music with honest, sharply observed storytelling about money, family mythology and the gap between the life we inherit and the life we build. Warm, funny and personally courageous.
