Regional premiere of this compelling drama, written by local playwright Kathy Coudle King. St Bette's takes place 40 years ago as four women enter a home for unwed mothers. Each woman feels this is her only choice. Unmarried, young, no financial means, burgeoning professional dreams, reckless behavior, and love have brought them to this house. Some want to keep their babies. One, because of her disability, is not allowed. What is choice when there are no options?
