Warren is a tender, character-driven drama about aging, autonomy, and the fragile beauty of human connection. Facing the end of his life, Warren chooses to meet death on his own terms — a decision that ripples through the lives of his estranged daughter, his lifelong friend, and a young waitress whose warmth and resilience offer unexpected grace.
Told with quiet humor and emotional honesty, the play explores faith, family, dignity, and forgiveness, building toward a deeply moving reconciliation that affirms love even in farewell. Warren is an intimate story about choosing presence over fear — and finding meaning in the moments that remain.
