Jamie and Carmine, two childhood friends, reconnect as they sit vigil for the death of Jamie’s grandmother. As Jamie struggles to write his eulogy, he must choose: keep a secret out of love for his grandmother or live his authentic truth. Written by Frank Paz (‘26), The Night of Ended Secrets pits familial obligation against burning desire against the setting of one family’s grief.
