One day Janet got a phone call: Kim had written a play and needed help with editing.
“I read it and liked it and wanted to work on it with her,” Thomas recalled.
The play, Unboxing in Biloxi, was based on Sandstrom’s own experience with sexual violence and assault, and it brought her friend to tears.
“We were great friends, but she felt she couldn’t tell anyone about it. So I knew nothing of what happened to her until then. Like many other survivors, she boxed it away,” Thomas said.
The plan was to produce the show onstage and then make it available for other theater companies; two were already scheduled to perform it on the West Coast.
