Starring Toussaint Duchess as young, single, New Orleans-born and bred Carrie Lynn, our main character struggles to adjust to post-Katrina life, placing all her hopes in her long-awaited FEMA check. To everyone around her, she is just a dreamer but in her heart, Carrie Lynn is masking her pain behind a smile, all while holding out faith that her life will get better… as soon as she receives her FEMA check.

This dynamic cast of actors includes Khalil Kain fromGirlfriends and The Marriage Counselor’s Tony Grant, powerhouse singers Trinitee 5:7, Deitrick Haddon and Christopher Williams, and BET’s Sunday’s Best Shari Addison, who deliver an exhilarating theatrical experience that will captivate your spirit and inspire you to reconsider your own dreams, one by one. The story on stage is Carrie Lynn’s, but the story of adversity and hope is within us all.
