This audition posting was too funny to not post…A Resurrected Hoe: The Play.
A RESURRECTED HOE: SYNOPSIS
Based on a true story; this production exposes just how a series of shattering episodes in a woman’s life manages to kill her innocence, ripple through her young adult life, and aim to ultimately induce her demise. A guaranteed global phenomenon, this production is based on the identically titled biographical memoir written by Paula R. Edwards also known as “Gee Gee”. Raped by a family member at age 5, on the run from local police at 15, and a teen mom on drugs and alcohol by 17. With less than a high school education, “Gee Gee” finds employment via Rocco, a ruthless Mafioso affiliate-and owner of Atlanta, GA’s elite “Platinum Club”. Following a stint of stripping and prostitution, she is devastated with news that she has tested positive for the terminal illness known as HIV. Admitted into a Psych ward following an attempted suicide, and alone in the world; A Resurrected Hoe starts as a tragic and heart wrenching reality for one unprotected girl who rummages through the trash cans of life searching for her treasure. Her answer to why she was dealt such a loveless and painful existence. Abandoned by both of her parents, and rejected by so called friends and family; Gee Gee, settles for playing the “Hoe;” because she had nothing worthwhile enough to live for, or so she thought. Death is far from the end of this narrative! Breakthrough in quantum proportions transforms the fate of Paula R. Edwards, and she discovers unimaginable love, freedom from incest, addictions, church hurt, insecurity, and more… and finally finds her treasure and then some! The miraculous overtakes Paula and gives her a fresh start. It’s simply amazing to discover her transformation of going from a Hoe to a Hero!
