A Note from the Playwright
"I’ve heard it said that being around people who are depressed, paranoid, or compulsive makes one depressed, paranoid, or compulsive; that insanity is contagious. How can we make possible that love, laughter, and faith be just as contagious and be strategies of support that create systems of wellness? How do systems of racism, misogyny, economics, and violence trigger symptoms and effect recovery of Mental Disorders?"
