    No piece of theatre has ever left me sobbing as much as this one. A beautifully crafted world with a narrative of love, loss, and acceptance that hits your heart like a truck.

    I had the great honor of directing this play at KCACTF and worked with Kalyssa closely. This play is really something special and I encourage everyone to read it and let it resonate with you however it may hit. Kalyssa has crafted a truly unique and heartbreaking play that is timeless and stunning. Many opportunities for unique and specific staging. This is a play that is created and made special by the team making it. Wonderful play, wonderful playwright.
