DEAR ANNIE, I HATE YOU
A visceral and dark comedy navigating the life of writer-performer Sam Ipema at age 20 when suddenly diagnosed with a fatal brain aneurysm..."Annie". Living and breathing inside the moments that make up who we are in these fateful decisions, Sam deftly explores the question: what does make life worth living?
