 In this one woman play, Tillie navigates the pressures of being a young person in a world where people constantly question her Big Dream. She challenges what the perfect order really means and makes people question how their childhood perception can be artificially coloured. This play teaches that art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. She tells a story through music and the power of the imagination.
