A family comes to terms with the father’s suicide, a year after his passing.
First performed at Nazareth College in 2011, Performed at the International Youth Arts Festival in London in 2012
“JILLIAN: 16! Boy. We’ll find some other way to celebrate. You are just growing up so fast. You both are. There was a time when Anna would pick me dandelions to say I’m sorry instead of bringing me cardboard boxes.
MATT: That’s just the way Anna is, Mom. She’s not good at admitting that she’s wrong.
JILLIAN: She’s right about moving though. I need some place smaller. Pretty soon this house will be empty, right? And this is just too much of a house to clean by myself. (a beat) It seems such a shame using these boxes for storage. Think of all the cool things you could make out of it. A television, a little house, a lemonade stand, a robot… a coffin…
MATT: (hesitantly) Are you ok, Mom?
JILLIAN: I’m tired, Matt. I’m just… tired.”
