Dorothy has a dead-end job and a blue collar family. One day she is suddenly struck with inspiration and is compelled to build wonderfully weird assemblages from glass and metal. But she must keep her new passions hidden from her family. With bills to pay and family obligations to tend, can Dorothy afford to call herself an artist? Experience this fully-produced play written by a North Carolinian playwright!
