In his wryly energetic memoir, Carlo D’Amore takes audiences on the wild true ride of growing up with his flamboyant, live-for-the-moment con artist mother, all seen through the eyes of her young son, who acts as her lookout, bail, and partner-in-crime. From Peru to the streets of New York, No Parole is a globetrotting adventure that provides a hilarious yet gut-wrenching look into the life of an extraordinary woman who saw the world as her playground, and the son who must save her from herself.

Carlo, Live In Theater’s artistic director and Drama Desk nominee, plays all the characters, including his mother and various others taken in by her imaginative schemes -which run the gamut from shoplifting to international drug smuggling.
