Content Warning

How do you navigate love when wounding is inevitable? For Micah, this is literally true. To break-up with someone, you must stab them… or slice them, or burn them, or shoot them… so long as they bleed. Micah pursues her first college romances while trying to keep her heart (and body) in one piece. The play is a blood-soaked cautionary tale that explores (literally) messy relationship dynamics, the inherent vulnerability of trust, and the struggle for emotional self-preservation when everyone’s trying to take a chunk out of you. At times funny, the show remains intimate and earnest as Micah wrestles with the lasting wounds of love and heartbreak.
