Karla, Sam, and Mel Are Going Straight to Hell
In a barn in Nebraska three teenage girls meet up to commit suicide together. Fear, love, friendship, and family ties are forced into a new light as the three prepare to end their lives. This play deals directly with the lack of options for people experiencing a mental health crisis in rural America, the easy availability of firearms, and the fear young women have when their options for healthcare of all kinds are limited. Ultimately, it explores what it means to live, and go on living, with mental illness.
