By Sarah Ruhl

“It’s a theatrical act of remembrance and a sacrament of grief, but it’s also a comedy… go see the play, and feel their relationship alive and tingling.” – The New York Times
“A lesson in how to love.”—The Arts Desk
This play is an adaptation of Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo’s 2018 epistolary book, Letters from Max. A Poet, a Teacher, a Friendship, this intimate, poetic play explores the relationship between Sarah and her former student, Max. With humor, lyricism and candor, the two friends share letters and poems as Max faces terminal illness and tests poetry’s capacity to put to words what otherwise feels ineffable.
“We’ll always know one another forever, however long ever is. And that’s all I want—is to know you forever.”
Letters From Max premiered off-broadway in 2023 at Signature Theater in New York City, directed by Kate Whoriskey and starring Jessica Hecht, Zane Pais, and Ben Edelman.
“Letters From Max” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

How do you go from being a nationally recognized vocal percussionist in a college acapella group to a nationally touring headlining comedian? Ask Tyler Boeh, a comedian whose comedy has been described as high-energy, intelligent, physical, and silly. His quick wit and award winning “beat-boxing” talent bring audiences to hysterical heights. Tyler started his stand-up career in his hometown of Portland, OR, but after placing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Tyler made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, completed work on two television pilots, and Tyler’s debut comedy album, “Carpool Companion” was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of the year when it was released in 2012.
In 2015, Tyler held his own with Craig Fergusson on his new show, “Celebrity Name Game”, was featured in numerous BuzzFeed videos, and appeared in 3 episodes of “Laughs on Fox”. 2016 culminated with a college tour that took him to nearly 40 campuses across the country and a return visit to showcase for the third season of “Laughs” on Fox. In 2018, Tyler released his second album, “Full Circle”, which was selected in January as the SiruisXM 98 artist of the month and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. Also in 2018, he released his Dry Bar Comedy special “Wait For It”, which has already received over 10 million views online. In 2023, Tyler returned to Dry Bar to film his second special titled “Upgraded”, which was released across multiple platforms in February of 2024. In 2025 in addition to his regular touring and headlining dates, Tyler has been a regular opening act for Leanne Morgan on her nationwide “Just Getting Started” tour.
Tyler continues to perform across the country at comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships, and theaters bringing his incredible brand of humor wherever he goes. You can hear his comedy on Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, Amazon Prime, and many other platforms online, but don’t miss the chance to see Tyler perform live!

There were more who came before, brave visionaries who laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls introduces audiences to fellow heroes and heroines including Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement who changed the course of U.S. history.
About Mike Wiley: Acclaimed actor and playwright Mike Wiley has spent the last decade fulfilling his mission to bring educational theatre to young audiences and communities across the country.

To bring these stories to life, he started his own production company. Through his performances, Wiley has introduced countless students and communities to the legacies of Emmett Till, Henry “Box” Brown and more.
