Grief can be a very strange thing and people react to traumatic events in very different ways. Some may become reserved and avoid contact with people.

Yes, you read that right. In Robert Askins' Tony Award nominated play, young Jason and his evil puppet alter ego, Tyrone, wreak havoc on a small Texas church and raunchy, rude, unhinged hilarity ensues.
