SESSIONS is a raw, emotional journey into the mind of a therapist coping with the suicide of her client. As welcomed intruders into her psyche, we experience a powerful series of vignettes exploring eating disorder recovery, the weight of grief, and the guilt that lingers after loss. The play invites audiences into an intimate, sometimes uncomfortable world where healing is both personal and shared. With each character grappling with their own struggles, SESSIONS challenges us to reflect on the power of therapy, the silence of suffering, and the hope that lies in recovery. This gripping, unforgettable experience will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about pain and healing. SESSIONS tickets are Pay What You Can, ensuring that everyone has access to this powerful performance. All proceeds will go to Living Bread , a local nonprofit in Greenville dedicated to providing specialized, affordable care for individuals struggling with eating disorders. Living Bread’s mission is to offer hope and healing to those affected by these life-threatening illnesses, especially when financial barriers prevent them from accessing the necessary treatment. Learn more about their incredible work at livingbreadgreenville.org . Your attendance not only supports the arts but also helps provide crucial care for those in need. SESSIONS contains mature themes, including but not limited to depictions of eating disorders, suicidal ideation, abuse, and other distressing content. The play explores recovery, grief, and guilt, which may be emotionally intense for some audience members. Information Source: The South Carolina Experimental Theatre Initative | eventbrite
