Respectfully Yours, Hazel

Adapted from the novel Respectfully Yours, Hazel, this heartwarming story is brought into a new life for the dramatic theater. The story follows the characters Kai and Hazel, as they grow up and fully understand true friendship (however hidden), romantic love, and what it takes to fully love ourselves in the face of anxiety or people-pleasing damaging behaviors. These two students - a bulimic wrestler and a severely socially-anxious "weirdo" - save each other from drowning in their own separate struggles. Taking place in the far north region of Minnesota, during the lumber industry boom of the 1980s, this theatrical production is full of comedic moments, lovely nostalgia of a time long gone, and is bound to induce tears of both heartbreak and happiness.
