Is it possible to find yourself when you don't understand where you came from? A young girl struggles to come of age while caught in an endless tug of war between her loyalty to the imperfect woman who took her in and her curiosity about the troubled woman who gave her away. A CHARITY CASE delves deeply into the entanglements between a biological mother, an adoptive mother and their 17-year-old daughter.

Costume design is by Theresa Squire with scenic design is by David L. Arsenault, lighting design by Travis McHale and sound design by Ian Werhle.
