Sullivan wrote the play J for J (Journals for John) which was prompted after she found a packet of unsent letters (in 1995) written by her father decades earlier to her older brother Johnny, who was mentally disabled.[2] The play premiered on October 20, 2001. John Ritter, who in real life had a handicapped brother, played Johnny, Sullivan played herself, and Jeff Kober portrayed her father Barry.
