About the Project
“Grandma’s Million Dollar Scheme” is based on a mostly a true story, with a few fictional moments to tell a story about Race, Class, Greed, and our criminal justice system with so many loopholes for white collar criminals who actually never end up doing time. I draw from my interactions with my Students at the local jail, and my experience as a spiritual teacher there, and my own journey as a “Get Rich Quick scheme” Real Estate guy in my late 20’s in San Francisco.
My intention in this performance is to humanize and raise awareness around the challenges we all face(rich, poor, black, white etc.) around greed, marginalization, and Class, as well as to have deeper empathy and understanding for the pain and suffering that many members of our society (which can also include us) who have slipped and fallen through the cracks and often end up in jail, or any kind of prison of our own making.
