Choking Out The Kudzu (an original musical)
by Betty Ladas and Billie Colombaro
directed by Billie Colombaro

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

April 10-26, 2015

An original work with a Greenbelt connection! Two women meet in conflict but develop a powerful bond. The super mom, Stella, gives the old lady, Bessie, the will to live. Feisty Bessie gives Stella the courage to face her fears, risk ridicule, and step into the spotlight. Along the way, laughter accompanies the struggle and tears come with pain.
