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.
