Hope You Get To Eleven or What are we going to do about Sally? is a solo show on the topic of suicide, written and performed by Padraic Lillis and directed by Scott Illingworth. The show is a very personal sharing of the ways of the mind, techniques for survival, and an invitation to talk about an issue that if left unspoken is deadly

Sunday, 4/30 at 7pm
Tuesday, 5/2 at 7pm
LENGTH OF SHOW: 60 minutes (no intermission)
PRICE: $18 in advance, $20 at the door
At IRT:154 Christopher st. NYC #3B (third floor)
NO LATE SEATING

Awarded Best Solo Show at Planet Connections Festivity and The Planet Advocate Award for raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention.

It felt like all of the collective suicidal thoughts that had ever entered the audiences heads came to sit alongside us in the theatre, right next to the ghosts of loved ones who had chosen to exit this life at their own hands. We were immersed in the temporary nature of existence, and it felt cathartic to have the storyteller say out loud our ruminations and impossible questions on choosing to leave our lives too soon. It is a brave work. Its scary and necessary. It will certainly go down on my list of Perfect Moments. NYTheatreguide

Hope You Get to Eleven is an emotionally driven solo piece that discusses things that can be hard to admit. Inspired by his own story, Lillis smartly doesnt tip toe around the subject. He brings dry humor to balance the gravitas. And there is a hell of a lot of gravitas in this play.
