The workshop and presentation follow a well-received 29-hour reading presentation in March 2023, the release of a star-studded, world premiere recording under the Center Stage Records label in November 2023, and a sold-out, two night concert series at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London in March 2024.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Olivia finds herself at a life-or-death crossroads. As she faces the fallout of her relentless need to please, the true extent of the chaos she has woven becomes painfully clear. In a race against time, she sifts through the poignant memories
of her three great loves, seeking the key to untangling her past. With every revelation, she edges closer to a second chance, driven by the desperate hope of reuniting with the love of her life—her son.
