After what has been a tumultuous and devastating year for many, the new musical Breathe takes a moment to reflect on the ways our lives have been impacted. Conceived and written by New York Times best-selling novelist Jodi Picoult and MTI author Timothy Allen McDonald (James and The Giant Peach, The Big One-Oh!), Breathe takes stock of what matters in life as we begin a return to "normal." We invite you to read Breathe and listen to the newly released cast recording for free! 

Written as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, Breathe follows five couples grappling with the virus’s impact on their lives, families, relationships, society, and health. Ranging from lighthearted to heartbreaking, unbelievable and all-too-real, these vignettes tackle everything from parenting in COVID, to Black Lives Matter protests, to saying goodbye to a spouse via Zoom.
