Tiny Beautiful Things at Tempe Center for the Arts

Based on the bestselling 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 that have no answers.

Content Transparency: Includes discussions of sexual assault, child abuse, and death/suicide.

Tiny Beautiful Things is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com This project is partially funded by the City of Tempe – Community Arts Grant
