Summary
Seventeen years old. Olmsted Park. A bedsheet tied to a tree.
Sad Boy begins with a failed suicide attempt.
Across four acts and an interlude, Chris Schneider reconstructs what came afterward: forced hospitalization, social rejection, first love, sex, violence, broken promises, and graduation staged as a mock execution.
The poems turn horror films, emo music, revolutionary history, and black comedy into a private language for experiences that resist being told plainly.
“Voted most likely to disappear tragically”-Charles I, Act IV
Content warning: suicide attempts, self-harm, and psychiatric crisis.
