About this show
From Stan Zimmerman (writer of Golden Girls and Gilmore Girls), Right before I go. highlights the raw struggles of people that have died by suicide. The play uses real suicide notes of celebrities, veterans, bullied teens, those identifying as LGBTQ+, people who have experienced a range of mental health crises - as well as those who have survived attempts. The show is followed by a conversation with the audience. Featuring a rotating cast of all-stars, including Wendie Malick (Shrinking), Emily Kuroda (Gilmore Girls), Claire-Marie Hall (Operation Mincemeat), Gerard McCarthy (Trespasses) and more.
