Prolific playwright, Anthony J. Piccione adds another thought-provoking drama to his eclectic canon of works. WHAT I LEFT BEHIND explores teen suicide, its impact, and repercussions it has on those left behind.

THE PLOT: The play focuses on a young high school student, in severe depression brought on by bullying at the hands of classmates, who shocks everyone by taking his own life. In a unique retelling of the events leading up to the decision, we see what - and who - brought him to make this life-ending move ... and how they are forced to deal with it.

WHAT I LEFT BEHIND will be directed by Sarah Jane Schostack, (Lincoln Center, New York Theatre Workshop, 12.14 Foundation, Samuel French Short Play Festival, among others) and will be part of a night of one-acts within the festival.

Anthony J. Piccione, whose star is on the rise, has an impressive list of productions bearing his name. He saved the planet with a play about being green in An Energy Tale while another play, Ebol-a-Rama, looks - with biting satire - at this quite deadly issue. Additionally, Ebol-A-Rama was published at Heuer Publishing (www.hitplays.com). A recent reading, A Therapy Session with Myself, presented at the Dramatists Guild Foundation, tells the story of a young college student and aspiring writer dealing with severe social anxiety, depression and Asperger's syndrome. This piece is looking for a home.
