Inspired by a real-life therapy assignment, The Parts I Keep Inside follows 25-year-old Sam, who insists he’s “fine.” But when emotional triggers like his sister’s sudden return, the rise of a fragile romance, and the internal voices that shape his fears, hopes, and ambitions clash into his everyday life, Sam must confront whether “fine” is enough to live on. This original musical explores mental health, identity, and the quiet war between who we are and who we present to the world.
