Everyday, she meditates at the dog park to try to let go of her slowly deteriorating parents and dead brother. There, she meets her therapist in the wet tongue of a Black Lab/ German Shepard standing alone by the fence. The therapist dog, who wears a red robe and smokes an intricate
pipe, guides 'She' on missions to go to the banks of the grave of the boy that is buried, to take off her grotesque mask and hang her face on a doorknob, and to look her dad straight in the eye. This one-woman play is about putting yourself back together after everything you once knew and trusted has fallen apart.
