BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (WVVA) - On this episode of In Focus, WVVA put the spotlight on an upcoming play at the Bluefield Arts Center .

Miles from Home: A Family’s Road to Hope and Healing, is about a little boy whose mom is struggling with addiction.

The writer of the play, Vain Colby, says this show is about removing the stigma surrounding addiction.

“I can come from a family who was addicted, we’ve dealt with this for a long time. When you have a family who is addicted to drugs, there is a shame. Sometimes it’s self imposed. Addiction is a disease. We have to remove the shame,” said Colby.
