SUMMARY:Holland
DESCRIPTION:“Wow\, I think I signed less paperwork when we bought a house.” – Carrie  \nThis world premiere is a hilarious madcap adventure\, an unflinching look at disability rights and a love letter to everyday heroes who will do anything for their people. \nCarrie and Paul are good people with solid friends and great kids. Another constant in their life is Alice\, an antagonistic social worker who holds all the cards when it comes to their disabled son. Alice makes promises but keeps few\, drowning the couple in paperwork\, denying basic services and bewildering them with impossible deadlines. Pushed to the brink\, Carrie takes matters into her own hands – in the most outrageous way possible – and goes from doing everything for her family to risking it all.
