When Strayed, a struggling writer, was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist “Sugar,” she 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 that have no answers.
In honor of the stories told in our play, The Bridge Initiative will be collecting new/unused household goods to donate to A New Leaf. See a list of items on this page: https://turnanewleaf.org/get-involved/donate-items/
CONTENT TRANSPARENCY: Tiny Beautiful Things features mature language and discussion of sexual assault, child abuse, drug use, suicide, grief, and other sensitive topics related to personal struggles and trauma.
