Oversexed and underappreciated, Alice begins her journey as a diabolically ambitious nine-year-old determined to lip-synch her way to the top. Unfortunately, her lifelong quest for greatness is consistently thwarted by community theater directors, child beauty pageant queens, religious fanatics, corporate drones—even her own family—until one day she has a revelation that could either land her in an institution or pave the way to glory and peace for all. Alice Johnson brings more than 30 characters to life in this one-woman comic odyssey into the heart of ambition, belonging and family. It's a tall tale in a very small town.
