Imagine a world where every teen comes of age by receiving an empty box.
In this unique drama about coping with pressures and expectations from others, Jack is curious when he receives his box as a birthday present. His confusion about the cubed oddity quickly turns to concern when his family, friends, and teachers begin filling his box with their expectations for him. The heavier Jack’s box gets, the more burdened he feels by it — and the more Jack considers following his friend Chris’s lead and throwing his box away. Before Jack casts away his own ambitions to relieve him from the stress of needing to please others, a strong supporting cast of friends helps Jack sort through what matters most and what’s worth holding onto.

This is a wonderfully written play and a great metaphor. We received great reviews from kids from the other schools. We also took the opporutnity to take a deep dive with our own kids about the meaning of the play, and it was very beneficial to each of them, as well. Don Goodman, Quemado Schools, Quemado, NM
