Thinking Makes It So is a one-man play which follows Sean, a former frat boy who is struggling with nightmares brought on by a traumatic and controversial incident from college. What happened to him? Alone on a stage, he introduces us to members of the Joy Boys, his cadre of close male friends. As each man shares his opinion of the event, friendships begin to break until Sean is left alone to face his friend’s judgments and find his own salvation.
