Featuring Tony Award Nominee Felicia P. Fields from The Color Purple, LOVE & SOUTHERN D!SCOMFORT blends the lush backdrop of rural Louisiana with unbridled jealousy, joy, and paid as it weaves a gripping tale about an old-money family torn apart by money, addiction and the revelation of a long buried family secret.
