at home for a fun night of beers and laughs at their annual summer sleepover. Instead, they come
back to find their town at the epicenter of a major police investigation. A gruesome discovery out
in the woods where they used to play has resulted in public outrage and a growing list of
unanswered questions. What's been found out there could be connected to an incident involving
Marcus from years earlier, but if the boys go in search of the truth now, it may only pull them
apart forever. Some secrets, no matter how far you push them down, never find a place to rest.

A Burial Place

    I've been thinking about this play all day as well as telling my friends about it. The way that this play wraps together a coming of age story, a mystery, a ghost story, and a commentary about race is awe inspiring. Every time, I had a handle on where it was going, it switched it up and surprised and delighted me. Similar to Netflix's haunting of hill house, the play deals with spiritual or residual emotion, grief, horror, and love. I want to see this show.
