Grandma’s Million Dollar Scheme is a Comedy-Drama, 75 minute solo performance based on a mostly true story, with a few fictional moments, and tells a story about race, class, greed, and our criminal justice system which has so many loopholes for white-collar criminals who actually never end up doing time. I draw on my interactions with my students at the local jail, and my experiences as a spiritual teacher there, and on my own journey as a get-rich-quick-scheme real estate agent in my late twenties in San Francisco who falls victim to a grandma who has a million-dollar get-rich-quick scheme of her own. My intention in this performance is to humanize and raise awareness around the challenges we all face (being rich, poor, black, white, etc.), around greed, marginalization, and class, as well as to create a deeper empathy and understanding for the pain and suffering of many members of our society (which can also include ourselves) who have slipped and fallen through the cracks and often end up in jail, or various kinds of prisons of our own making.Here’s what some who attended the last show said:�" A very Engaging Experience" T.
