Stephen Anderson, The Difference Between Wondering and Knowing
|
The feeling of separateness for those diagnosed with any level of mental illness
can be acute and the thought that one is entirely alone can be difficult, and at times extreme. Through a compelling script of deeply moving vignettes, the raw, honest and poetic tone of "I Live In Your World" gives voice to a marginalized population of persons with mental illness, communicating personal stories and messages that engage the audience on an intimate and universal level.
All events are FREE and open to the public!
Workshop and theater schedules can be found at OCCCA.org
