About

Beth Henley's Miss Firecracker Contest presented by Chicago Heights Drama Group.

In the play the young heroine Carnelle, having grown up with abandonment issues and living with a checkered past, she longs for acceptance. She thinks that winning a local beauty contest will restore her soiled reputation and makes her into somebody in the small Mississippi town where she lives.

Family and friends who try to help her along the way are a dysfunctional bunch who tackle life in their own peculiar ways.
What Carnelle and the others learn from the chaos they create, is that fulfillment of one's hopes and dreams comes about if one is truly willing to accept oneself for who they are.
