BREAKDOWN

TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS

based on the book by Cheryl Strayed, adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos.

Director: Angie Flynn-McIver

SEEKING:

SUGAR – She/her. Age range begins around late 30s, with no upper age limit. Open to all ethnicities. Sugar is a writer, a mother of two, and married. She accepts a position—somewhat impulsively—as the anonymous voice behind an online advice column. What begins as a gig becomes something transformative, as she finds unexpected healing through her correspondence with those seeking help.

LETTER WRITER #1 – Any age, gender, and ethnicity. First enters the story as the person who offers Sugar the advice columnist position. Throughout the play, they take on a series of distinct personas, including a recurring critic who signs their letters “WTF,” and a grieving father coping with the loss of his 22-year-old son in a car crash.

LETTER WRITER #2 – Any age, gender, and ethnicity. This character doubles as several people who reach out to Sugar, including a woman processing the aftermath of a miscarriage, and Sugar’s own mother, seen in recollected moments from the past. Their letters include moments of quiet resilience, vulnerability, and emotional weight.

LETTER WRITER #3 – Any age, gender, and ethnicity. Doubles multiple roles, each searching for connection or clarity. Notable characters include a transgender individual navigating questions about familial acceptance and identity, and a person wrestling with whether or not to remain connected to a narcissistic parent. Their letters explore themes of identity, boundaries, and healing.
