Charlotte, NC—Carrie Ann’s Kiss is back! This new comedy by local
playwright and actress Tonya Shuffler is a hilarious comic adventure
that follows the journey of five Carrie Ann Cosmetic Consultants on
their way to the National Convention to compete for the company’s
highest achievement award: the coveted “Ruby Kiss.” Fierce
competition and more than a little back stage conspiracy are normal at
the National Convention, but this year there’s an added intrigue. One
of the finalists threatens to undermine the very foundation of Carrie
Ann Cosmetics, simply by attending. You won’t want to miss the
fireworks when this band of quirky, competitive and compassionate
characters collide.

Center after a highly acclaimed premiere last year at Theatre
