An excerpt from a review of our most recent production:
“A Light in Dark Places: A Collection of Plays for Hope. "Five short plays that break down the stigma surrounding the topic of suicide, using a mix of comedy and drama to encourage healthy discussion, create community, and offer hope to those affected." I can think of no words better than those on the front of the playbill to describe what my wife and I had the honor of seeing last Saturday night. Taking a subject that most of us would avoid confronting but one that touches many people, this program of varied plays shows us the elusive nature of hope in the face of suicide.
Yet, with love, courage, and communication and with the support of family, friends, and mental health professionals, hope can be restored, helping a person to heal and, in time, be made whole again. Light can fill all the dark places…
…And don't let the subject matter keep you away from seeing this program. This is not about darkness and despair. It seeks to provide light and hope. And for those who have lost a family member or friend to suicide, or for those who have contemplated or attempted to take their own lives (myself included in that number), that is a beautiful and necessary gift to receive."
