By Johnna Adams
A grieving mother and a middle school teacher engage in a tense and emotionally charged parent-teacher conference following the tragic suicide of a young boy. As the conversation unfolds, painful truths about the student, his writing, and the adults around him are revealed. The play explores themes of grief, responsibility, and the blurred lines between creativity and appropriateness.
