"This is definitely not proper grieving behavior."
In the
aftermath of 25-year-old Connor’s suicide, his girlfriend, sister, and roommate
try desperately to make things right, place blame, and confront their own
battles with mental illness. Wickedly funny and shockingly tender, Coping explores and explodes our
experience of grief, mental illness, and family.

By donating, you'll become a part of this exciting process. You will also receive the perks outlined to the right and our deepest thanks and gratitude.

Risks & Challenges
Producing fringe theatre is challenging and about being scrappy with the resources we have. We have created a very cost-effective production, but there are some costs we simply can't avoid. We think this play is important enough to lose all of our money over, but we would love to break even with your help.
