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
"Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared."
-Tupac Shakur
The Rose Grew Here Productions is a new production company with the objective of helping young and aspiring artists bring their original work to life. Deriving it's name from Tupac Shakur's poem, the organization hopes to help young writers "grow through the concrete" and strengthen their unique voices. While the main objective is to produce original work, the organization also takes special interest in stories dealing with people of color, women, LGBTQAA and people of poverty.
