Special Thanks:

My immense gratitude to Julia Jarcho, Lisa D’Amour, Melissa Kievman and Brian Mertes for their guidance in my attempts to direct. Though they are credited for their labor, it bears repeating that the entire cast, design, and support team for the show have made this play come to be in such generous, sweet, kind ways. I’m so honored to have had this group of people gift this play so much care and love for the last few weeks. My deep gratitude, too, for the writers of the MFA playwriting workshop in the spring of 2022 - they were the first people to voice these kids. Thank y’all!
