Once she makes the connection between the rape and her physical ailments, she begins the journey of reclaiming her body and her power. The audience witnesses the young cheerleader transforming into a powerful woman who reclaims her sexuality and lives as a whole, healthy, woman who cheers for life!

Only one man can help. A man whos more than a man. More than a legend. A man whos conveniently from New Jersey (Exit 149).
Frank Sinatra.
When the ghost of Ol Blue Eyes barrels into his life and shares his ring-a-ding-Rat Pack rules of romance and seduction, John goes on a journey of awkward and hilarious self-discovery, confronting his own seemingly endless insecurities, facing the reality of his parents marriage, and finally getting the girl on his own terms.
A one-man comedy-musical filled with classic Sinatra tunes, Frank Sinatra F#*ked Up My Life celebrates teenage innocence, adult angst and the real meaning of romance.
And chicks dig that, baby.
