Tulsa -

A local author who spent time in prison is taking her best-selling book and turning it into a stage play.

Raittia Rogers grew up in Tulsa and said she was drawn to a criminal lifestyle.

Eventually, she says her bad choices landed her in prison, and that's where she decided to turn her life around. Now she's holding auditions for the stage adaptation of her book "I Escaped From Prison."

Auditions are this Saturday from 11-4 at 3306 Charles Page Boulevard in Tulsa and are open to everyone.

The play is scheduled to run July 1-3.
