On the anniversary of the most traumatic experience of his life, Benny Craft records a suicide note and sets it up to post on social media at midnight. Armed with a to-do list and pursued by a handsome, pushy stranger, he sets off on his ‘last day’ to visit his therapist and the two most important women in his life. But is Benny really looking to say goodbye or desperately searching for a reason to not have to?Trigger Warning: Adult language and content, discussion of suicide. Dates: July 7-8 at 7:30pm; July 9 at 2pm.

1400 Blvd. of the Arts, Suite 200 (Second Floor) Sarasota, FL 34236.
