WABI SABI

Recommended by

  • Scott Sickles: WABI SABI

    Just watched a PERFECTLY CAST reading of WABI SABI with Almost Adults theater. They really brought out all that is delightful in this play.

    And there is much that is delightful.

    Carnes takes a broad subject “trans teens” and makes it incredibly personal, i.e. about THIS trans teen. Adolescence is difficult enough anyway, but when one is also transitioning physically, evolution and transformation are two vastly separate things happening at the same time.

    The play also gives these young characters a complicated history that makes them all the more real. It hits hard and just right!

    A great place about reconnecting, remembering and accepting the changes and life experience that have occurred. Well done.

    Rachael Carnes has a remarkable and refreshing knack for capturing the emotional connections between young characters written with authenticity, humor, and great compassion.
