TEN-MINUTE: Matthew has been in the closet for as long as he can remember, but when his grandmother's dementia takes a turn for the worse, he realizes how little time he has left to tell her what he has never told anyone before.

    We included this play in our high school senior-directed one-act festival and it brought the audience to tears. A beautifully rendered and crafted short piece with two great roles for strong actors. A great addition in our evening of one-acts.

    A gorgeously touching piece with as real writing as you can get and SO much juicy symbolism (pun intended). Who doesn't like an amply set-up but equally unexpected twist ending?

    A really lovely and engaging story right from the start. Matthew's relationship with his grandmother is familiar, realistic, and heartbreaking. The ending makes it unforgettable.
