Set in the Midwest during the Great Depression, this family friendly play is a story about the migratory life of a "show business" child during the Great Depression. Carolina Lee, called "Charley," is the youngest actress in the company that suddenly finds itself stranded, and she becomes a "drop-in" at the local school, where "recess is more like a Roman coliseum." Three generations, the undaunted Charley; her temperamental actress-mother and her loving, song-and-dance husband; and Charley's "illegitimate adopted grandmothers" stubbornly see their way through these "worst of times" and "best of times" with the miracle of loving, quiet survival.
