Please Don't Freak Out

"A powerful, moving solo show that expertly combined heaviness and levity. The script forced us to sit in tension as we slowly got to know and feel for the protagonist, which ultimately made the twist at the end hit like a knife to the chest."

Everyone dies. Claire knows this—she’s prepped 207 bodies at Scott and Son’s Funeral Home. She’s great at her job. What she’s still figuring out is how to be one of the living.

Tonight, she also has to contend with body 208 she can’t bring herself to touch, a widower she shouldn’t have kissed, a passport she hasn’t used, and the ghost of her grandfather speaking through peppermint wrappers. Awesome. 

A world-premiere one-woman dark comedy about death, depression, the meaning of life, and why the hell we’ve decided we can’t talk about any of it.

Trigger warning for frank discussion of mental health, suicide, and death.
