Tiny Beautiful Things at Authenticity Theater

Based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies many of the emotionally-charged questions and answers that advice columnist “Dear Sugar” published online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous columnist position, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small.

Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on the questions that have no answers.

8 performances – January 16, 17, 18/8:00pm, January 19/2:00pm, and January 22, 23, 24, 25/8:00pm at 7 Stages Backstage Theater in Atlanta’s Little Five Points. Directed by Kelley Jordan. Starring Catherine Erhardt, John Buisman, Neuma Joy, Sasha Keefer, Elizabeth Coats, Lamont Roux, and Maurice Winsell.

Content Warning: This play contains adult language and subject matter intended for mature audiences, including: discussions of sexual assault, child abuse, and death/suicide. Viewer discretion is advised.

“Catharsis, that ancient communal ritual of purging and healing…a show that aims to open our eyes to the tiny moments when the world surprises us with care.” – New York Magazine
