Here at Little Theater @ The Actors Company

How do you say “I love you” when you’re still saying goodbye?

Here is a one-man show about a man alone in his room, practicing a proposal he’s been meaning to get right. But the words won’t come—not cleanly, not without the past creeping in. With each attempt, memories rise: of the woman he lost too young, of the stage that felt like home, of the bee that first stung him.

As he speaks, the lines blur between what he’s saying and what he’s remembering. A childhood marked by sudden loss. A teacher who stepped in when no one else could. A love that emerged not from certainty, but from shared grief. Piece by piece, the story unfolds—not in order, but as it lives in him: messy, tender, real.

He’s not just rehearsing a proposal. He’s tracing the path that led him here.

Here is a meditation on love, memory, and the way grief lingers quietly beneath joy.
