True Rep presents Hold, Please!

How do you navigate the roller coaster of a critical medical condition while simultaneously launching a passion project and working a mundane, full time job? Hold Please! Drama, Dialysis, Dead-End Jobs, and How Katherine Helmond Saved My Soul is an original play written by a collaboration of True Rep artists that chronicles Sheehan’s deeply personal journey with kidney disease and the effects on his life, body image, relationships, and dreams for the future.

Based on his own journals, Hold Please! follows Sheehan through kidney disease diagnosis to dialysis to life-saving transplant while working day-to-day in a mind numbing call center and launching his true passion, True Repertory Theatre. This inspirational story, often heartfelt and funny, reveals the circus-like atmosphere of navigating the ups and downs of serious illness. 

Hold, Please! will run for 6 performances: October 17, 23 and 24 at 8 PM, and Oct 18, 24 and 25 at 3 PM.  All tickets are $25 and are available at the door with cash or Venmo.
