Directed by Christine McBurney

Dramaturgy by Les Hunter

Ramona wants to be left alone...Only, maybe she doesn’t. Because when she’s left with her thoughts, things only seem to get worse. Navigating through sexuality, high school, and family, Ramona is forced to understand the role grief plays in her life.
