TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS | ABOUT

Tiny Beautiful Things | June 1 – June 17, 2023 Based on the book by Cheryl Strayed, Adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos Co-Conceived by Marshall Heyman‭, ‬Thomas Kail‭, ‬and Nia Vardalos Directed by Susan Sargeant* ​Based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, Strayed 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 which have no answers. *contains adult language and extremely sensitive situations* Recommended for 15+ Press Contact: Taylor Staniforth | 817.877.3040 | hello@circletheatre.com
