a place where shadows, once cast, never disappear...
"Trouble in Shameland" is a fearless display of color, costume and collaboration, carefully layered to bring depth and supremacy back to the stage. It's an artistic triumph and theatrical masterpiece, largely due to the efforts of playwright and composer Bryan Putnam."

"...a polished evening of musical theatre." – Daniel Burke
Artist Michael Carson puts his life into perspective while living vicariously through the skewed perspectives and whimsically wicked characters in his popular graphic novel SHAMELAND. A story of overcoming tremendous odds when it comes to abandonment and survivor's guilt, SHAMELAND is sure to tug at the very core of your humanity.
