Tiny Beautiful Things When life doesn’t come with answers, we turn to someone who might help us find the right questions. Based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things brings to life the raw, heart-wrenching, and unexpectedly funny letters sent to “Sugar,” an anonymous advice columnist with a wounded past and fierce compassion. As Sugar responds with honesty, warmth, and vulnerability, her own story emerges—and with it, a reminder that healing is a shared journey. Poetic, powerful, and deeply human, Tiny Beautiful Things is a celebration of empathy, resilience, and the beautiful mess of being alive. Staged Reading Runtime: 90 minutes. 15 minute intermission. Performances: Cast: SUGAR: Julie Ferris-Tillman THE LETTER WRITERS Production Team: TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service. www.dramatists.com
