Someone’s Somebody Starring Regina Louise November 18, 2007

“Oliver Twist Meets Cinderella!”
Told through 16 pairs of shoes, “Someone's Somebody” explores identity, race, and the ultimate question of perceived human value. This Dickensian tale begins as Regina Louise navigates her way from rural Texas, to the more than 30 foster homes and residential treatment centers in both, Contra Costa County and San Francisco. At 13-years old this child was denied the right to belong to a family. An adoption petition filed on her behalf was over-ruled; Regina Louise is black. The woman who wanted to be her mother is white. By the journeys end: a hotel room in Times Square, we are all left with the knowing: “love is never wasted." Regina is bringing her original play, to Dean Lesher to celebrate National Adoption Month. When asked about the play, Louise says: “My story is about the possibilities that can be achieved in life, given the smallest shred of love. Every child deserves the right to have lifetime connections –to satisfy the most essential of all human needs: the need to be connected—to be: someone’s somebody.”
