This past fall Padraic Lillis was a guest artist at a university where a student that was charming, bright, witty, and warm, a person that no one could say a negative word about, committed suicide. It was a shock to everyone. 105 people die from suicide each day in the United States and the rate is rising. One reason is because we don't talk about it.
This event inspired Padraic to create this play as an honest, intimate, slightly humorous sharing of his experiences in the hopes of opening up the conversation on the topic of suicide.
Padraic Lillis (Writer/Performer) is the founding Artistic Director of The Farm Theater. He has been awarded the NYIT Award for Outstanding Director for his production of Lindsay Joy’s Rise and Fall of a Teenage Cyber Queen, Overall Excellence Award from NY International Fringe Festival for his production of Lee Kaplan’s Bully, and inducted into the Indie Theater Hall of Fame.
