It’s a solo comic tour-de-force as Ann Randolph
takes a crew of outrageous characters for a wild ride in the sky. “LOVELAND†recounts the emotional, hilarious and heartfelt journey of Frannie Potts, an irreverent, lovable woman, never shy to speak her mind, as she confronts both her fellow passengers and the loss of the biggest love of her life. “Irreverent, hilarious and deeply human†(S.F. Bay Times).
