Based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010- 2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, 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.
Black Chair Projects are an exciting branch of Magenta Theater where actors perform staged readings of plays utilizing the bare minimum rehearsal time. Sets are minimal, using primarily black chairs, and lighting is drawn from cues already programmed into the system. Black Chair Project performances generally run for one or two nights only.
