Hey everyone, just wanted to remind/update everyone that this staged reading of FRAGILE is still on for tomorrow night at 7:30pm. It's a play created from the writings of, and interviews with, three homeless youth living in Boston shelters. It's fascinating, unexpectedly funny at times, and we just want to get some feedback on it before we create a full production so tickets are free.

Please come if you can :)
