CROOKED SHADOWS
by Shawneen Rowe

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 that have no answers.
Crooked Shadows visits heartfelt stories of a vibrant Italian family from childhood hijinks to haunting moments of pain as a granddaughter pieces together stories of her Grandma to solve a family mystery.
This project is partially funded by a City of Tempe – Community Arts Grant.
