"Honey Boon!" Lead character, PR powerhouse Undine is literally swept off her feet by her Argentine husband landing her right back in the projects in Lorraine Hansberry Theatre's "Fabulation!" Choreography by Argentine Pampas Cortes of "Forever Tango" fame.

Relations maven at the top of her game. Her Gucci glasses and Louis Vuitton bag are all real enough, but Undine's life is a fabrication.


It all unravels when her Argentine husband embezzles all of her money and suddenly disappears, leaving her pregnant and penniless. Undine has no choice but to return to her childhood home in Brooklyn's Walt Whitman Projects, where her journey of self-discovery truly begins.
