Winter 2025
Something to Miss
a play by Hadassah Bird
A moving story about a year in the life of two neighboring families who struggle to find commonality and friendship amidst many differences and disagreements. It is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of grief, self-discovery, and empathy. The characters navigate relationships of every kind and grow alongside one another, learning through humor, heart, and hardships (with a few shocks along the way). Something to Miss will make you laugh, make you cry, and will definitely offend those who love Thanksgiving.
