A beautiful, heart wrenching play about ascension, transformation, and yearning. All these people (or this one person, if that’s how you do it), have a deep yearning for something lost, for finding themselves, and in the end, none of them, nor the audience, come out of this play unchanged.

I'm consistently impressed by Lee's understanding of their own voice at such a young age. When I was 23 I was scribbling on bathroom mirrors. They also have a real commitment to and understanding of short plays, something I admire and envy. This play is beautiful. It's a play in transition, of people who want to be in motion, to transform. More than that it's about thwarted movement, thwarted change, thwarted communication...

In a poignant exploration of metamorphosis, "To Be A Monarch Butterfly, To Return To A Home That Never Was" weaves a tale of yearning and self-discovery. Through the lives of its characters, each cocooned in their own way, the play masterfully captures the essence of transformation, mirroring the monarch butterfly's journey. It's a reflective odyssey that invites audiences to ponder identity, change, and the courage to emerge anew.
