Ours is a theater of the heart, where performance is the process, not the goal. We offer mime pieces and skits regarding mental health issues, addiction and severe depression. Some of the work is interactive during which audience members can choose to become actors and decide best outcomes for situations being enacted. We also offer a play, ‘The Wizard of Iz’, which addresses suicide prevention and bullying solutions.
Here is a preview of our theatrical performance about suicide and bullying. The full version can be viewed below.
Imagine there is a sister city to ‘Oz’, where the desperate go. This play addresses the common experience of those struggling with suicidal ideation and behavior; that they have no choice but to end it all. It is a poignant and celebratory story of one woman’s journey deep into her fear and hopelessness as a result of childhood bullying. In the Land of Iz she has the opportunity to hear testimony from her feelings and to make peace with them. The ultimate message of the presentation is to appreciate each moment…what is!
