From Foster Care to Fabulous, by Pat Burns, Produced by cARTel

"It's all truth. Sometimes the truth is horrifying, sometimes it's hilarious. But it's never cliché. It's never preachy. It's just the truth."

Between the ages of 14 and 17, Patrick Burns lived with four foster families in Oakland, CA. His self-written, self-performed musical details this experience with both original and well-known songs, a plethora of jaw-dropping and side-splitting anecdotes, and a bizarre cast of horrific, hilarious, and ultimately heartbreaking characters. This show was a n unforgettable night of original, boundary-pushing theater!

The show was held at the The Improv Space, located at 954 Gayley Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90024.
