The series is currently syndicated internationally in over a dozen countries.
Other plays by Shores include his GLAAD award-winning "Southern Baptist Sissies;" the Ovation and Los Angeles Drama Critic's Circle award-winning "The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife" which Shores' just adapted and directed for the big screen for a 2012 summer release starring the play's original cast Beth Grant, Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, Dale Dickey, David Steen and Debby Holiday.
