Honored with the 1st Place Sarah Willis Award, Candyland is a story of lust, betrayal and a search for identity. Set in a dystopian future where everyone has been put in their “proper place” by an all-powerful Regime, Candyland serves as a cautionary tale of what a world without tolerance and acceptance can become. To escape the death sentence of a convicted homosexual, Lance takes refuge in an underground brothel. Here he meets Charlie, a sex worker who is in the midst of starting a revolution.

About the Show
After narrowly escaping the horrors of slavery, Idabelle arrives to the North only to discover the Fugitive Slave Act has made it impossible for her to find honest work. With no other choice, she joins the women of Pinky's Pleasure House where she is confronted by a wealthy Southern-planter who finds the women-run business disturbing. After an intense altercation in the privacy of her room, Idabelle and the women are faced with a life-or-death dilemma that tests their morality and questions the value of revenge.
