Tiny Beautiful Things
August 8-24, 2025
Funny and deeply touching,Tiny Beautiful Things brings to life the “Dear Sugar” online advice column written by bestselling author Cheryl Strayed (Wild). When an anonymous advice columnist responds to heartfelt letters from strangers, the personal stories that unfold are a compassionate and poetic exploration of love, grief, vulnerability, and forgiveness. Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), this intimate theatrical experience is a celebration of the power of storytelling and all the tiny, beautiful moments that remind us of our shared humanity.

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”
