'My Great-Grandma Slept With Al Capone': A Theatrical Excavation of Family History is a creative project based on a true family story. My great-grandma was a nurse in the late 1920s and ended up having Al Capone as her patient. From this story, I developed a fourteen-page script and a concept trailer that discusses the heart and soul of my project. The goal of this project going forward is to create a limited series and/or a short play about my great-grandma's experiences as a nurse during Prohibition and The Great Depression. Artist's Statement: This art piece embodies the power of connecting with your roots and using that as inspiration to both become closer with family and create art that can be dedicated to those you love. There's something incredibly emotional about parading your heart and your family's heart for all to see, and I can't help but wonder how the Capones have felt about their father, uncle, etc. being constantly subjected to creative impersonations. Because of this, I strived to be as truthful as possible in my portrayals of these legends, while still inviting creativity in to fill the gaps. What results is an art piece that allows these humans to be who they are, wholly and completely, with all the ups and downs that come with learning how to live within your given circumstances. - Hannah Hutchison

The unreliable narrator has encouraged debates throughout literature studies on our willingness to trust everything the narrator says, bringing into question what is true. I interviewed my Italian relatives to understand my heritage, but more questions arose than answers due to biased opinions. “La Bella Figura” is a limited television series that establishes an unreliable narrator as he attempts to tell the story of his family, all centered around the Italian phrase “the beautiful figure.”
