Encore Presents Before I Let Go: The Stage Play

TARA KENDRICK thought she knew exactly what the rest of her life would look like—until twenty-seven years of marriage comes crashing down in divorce court.

At fifty-four, suddenly single and forced to face a future she never planned for, Tara turns to the three women who have been beside her through everything. Janelle’s strict rules are tested by an irresistible younger man. Patrice’s picture-perfect life is hiding a crisis she can no longer ignore. And Chelle—fabulous, fearless, and staring down fifty—finds herself confronting love, aging, and a frightening diagnosis that changes everything.

What begins with cocktails and a much-needed girls’ getaway becomes a hilarious, heartfelt reckoning with friendship, desire, fear, and what it really means to begin again.

Funny, sexy, soulful, and unapologetically grown, Before I Let Go is a celebration of Black women, lifelong friendship, and the beautifully messy freedom of becoming somebody new when life refuses to follow the plan.

Because sometimes starting over isn’t the answer.

Sometimes you have to start different.
