PLAY DEVELOPMENT

Incorrigible: The Legend of Thundervoice

Orphaned at 3 years old. Thrown around an abusive foster care system. A life full of addiction, violence, anger and loss. What brings it all to an end? Family, love, and journeying back to his roots - the land. Based on a real life story, the Legend of Thundervoice shows one man's lifelong struggle against the label of incorrigible.
