Jo is growing up in the early 1940s in Alabama. Her mother runs a very strict religious house. The most important thing to Jo is getting married and moving out of her mom’s house. However, her boyfriend doesn’t want to get married and settle down. 

Anna Aleise Howerton has written a very funny play based on her grandmother, Anne Sellers. The audience is cracking up constantly. 

There are a few very dramatic scenes that seem out of place in this play. For them to fit, a slower buildup of dramatic tone would be needed. 

Every single character is funny in their own way. The cast includes Anna Aleise Howerton, Isaac Baker, Amanda Leo, Connor Paulson, Samantha Karagas, Mitch Apse, Caia Cammie, Danny Peterson, Marae Ashmore, Jackson Doezema, Nichole Reed, and Tanner Sells. 

The show runs two hours with an intermission.
