The Belrose Theater presents Grandma's Million Dollar Scheme - a comedy-drama solo performance.
Written and performed by Koorosh Ostowari, this light comedy (based on a mostly true story) is about a "get-rich-quick-scheme" real estate agent in San Francisco who falls victim to a grandma who has a million-dollar get-rich-quick scheme of her own.
It's a fascinating examination of race, class, greed, and our criminal justice system which has so many loopholes for white-collar criminals who never end up doing time.

The story revolves around Sofia who is hired as an empathy coach at a debt collection agency, where she quick finds out that her work is cut out for her.
