"Smother" is a hilarious play about Marcia, a bossy but well-intentioned mother, who cooks up increasingly outlandish schemes to control her daughter, Julia's, love life. Unfortunately, Julia has a track record of hooking up with loser boyfriends, and Marcia vows to change that. Ultimately, Marcia learns by seeking professional help, and through the efforts of those who love her, how to let go.....maybe.
Tiny Beautiful Things is a deeply moving play that brings to life the “Dear Sugar” online advice column written by bestselling author Cheryl Strayed (Wild). When an anonymous advice columnist responds to heartfelt letters from strangers, the personal stories that unfold are a compassionate and poetic exploration of love, grief, vulnerability, and forgiveness. Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), this intimate theatrical experience is a celebration of the power of storytelling and all the tiny, beautiful moments that remind us of our shared humanity.
