The Shadow Box at University of Houston

On the grounds of a large hospital, three patients, Joe, Brian, and Felicity, are sharing vacation cabins with their respective families. As they have reached the end of their treatments, they have agreed to be part of a psychological study living within the hospital grounds and having interviews with a psychiatrist. In this classic modern play, the characters come to terms with their situations. As the audience, we witness hard conversations, emotional fractures, and experience moments of sincere humor. No one will live forever, and the play challenges us to face that reality. In the end, the play inspires us to embrace the opportunities that exist in each precious moment of life.
