Mary Quinn will perform Felony Ever After: A one woman comedy show at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.) Friday and Saturday at Durango Arts Center, 802 East Second Ave.

Student tickets are $10 and a student ID must be presented at the door. Adult tickets are $15. Tickets are available for purchase online at durangoarts.org.

This fractured fairy tale is based off a true story about Quinn’s narrow miss with a five-year prison sentence. All names have been changed to protect the innocent – as well as the not-so-innocent. The true story part is that Quinn was pulled over by the police while driving in South Dakota after finishing a cross country comedy tour. She was feeling pretty confident, until she realized she and a friend had left a sizable amount of marijuana in her car. South Dakota considers this akin to possession of heroin, and her journey to the land of accountability begins. The fairy tale interpretation lends comic relief to a tough subject. Quinn plays all of the characters: herself, the wicked witch, the godfather and the big surprise.
