Full length drama. 3W.
When Jessie Rose drops everything to go care for her grandfather, she discovers a secret her mother’s kept since she was a kid that could change her life. With her sister’s help, Jessie works the truth out so she can move forward—but in each of these women under the weight of regrets, a hidden monster waits. Whose will break out first? How to Hide Your Monster composts anonymous, diverse, personal and true stories submitted to 100 Love Memories Play Project in an exploration of love and the side effects of love. This is a play in love with truth, memory, family, past, longing and wholeness, dealing with the secret stories we keep from the people we love most in order to protect them. In this world of sharing and over-sharing, how are we hiding more than ever? Learn more HERE.
