Tiny Beautiful Things

Based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small.

Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on the questions which have no answer.

Starring: Michelle Deighton, Casey Easton, Angela Schjodt & Mikayla Jones

Directed by Pete MacLeod

TRIGGER WARNING:

The following are discussed within our play:

• Miscarriage

None of the above will be re-enacted by our actors. All topics are presented in monologue format, recounting memories of real and anonymous contributers of an online forum.
