A community is blown apart when a young girl is bullied in the Catholic school system for her questions around spirituality and sexuality. Full of humour, warmth, mysticism, and grit, this play asks questions about holiness, community responsibility towards youth, and the ethics around absence. This play also comes in a one-act form.
