Garland is welcoming a poignant stage play that digs deep into the complexities of growing up within the walls of a strict religious upbringing and the unintended consequences it can have. "Innocence Before Deception," based on a compelling narrative, will raise the curtains at the Plaza Theater on April 26th. The moving production follows the story of Valarie, a pastor's daughter grappling with the challenges of adolescence against a backdrop of fervent ministry and parental preoccupation.
The show promises an unforgettable ending that's sure to resonate with audiences. It tackles themes of loss of innocence and the strain of deception. Proceeds from the play will be put to good use, honoring Valarie's late son, Jarretton Jamal Thompson—affectionately known as JJ. According to the City of Garland, contributions will support the Ebby House and Lullaby House in Dallas, organizations that work tirelessly to mentor young girls and teen mothers.
