We understand that giving away too much before a performance can spoil the experience of a new play. Theater is unique in that it is a communal journey through a story full of plot twists, surprises, and new perspectives. It is often these unexpected moments that can be especially moving and create debate, conversation, and memories beyond the performance.

We are also very aware that such moments can be distressing and overly discomforting for some individuals, to varying degrees. Therefore, we share some general information about this production’s content to help provide the best experience possible for everyone.
