—Chicago Sun-Times
In this "airtight masterpiece," (Chicago Reader) Lettie is newly
released from prison and eager to regain custody of her teenage
children. Hailed by Variety as "over-the-top superb," Boo Killebrew's
powerful, moving, and surprisingly funny play follows the heartbreak
and hope of a family trying to mend amid harsh realities.

Lettie cast member Melanye Finister talks to The Philadelphia Inquirer
"This was a real education on the challenges of reentry...The thing that this play does brilliantly is that nobody is all good and nobody is all bad."
