adult to reconnect and discovers a world where Andrea has created
a new family among her fellow residents where she has become
sister, daughter and mother among her “boyfriends”.
Joyful and heartfelt, Willinger pays homage to his sister.
With great laughter and poignant moments of insight he tells
the story of Andrea’s new life, a life in the confines of Crystal
Park School in Fallsburg, NY.
The play is narrated by their counselor, Mike and centers

the half-lit world of these amazing young adults.
