Welcome to Chrysalis Theatre Company!
As the artistic director of Chrysalis, I’m excited to announce that we are producing my new solo show,THE ROAD BACK, in the fall of 2020, for a limited four-week run at The Chain Theater at 312 W. 36th St. in midtown Manhattan (home of The Barrow Group and The Tank). My long time collaborator, Padraic Lillis (The Farm Theater), is directing.
THE ROAD BACK is a very personal story about my journey into and out of a severe clinical depression that I experienced 10 years ago. With humor and honesty, I tell the story of the journey that transformed my life for the better and led me down a road of discovery to a new, more enlightened sense of self, which resulted in my becoming a peer counselor for others who suffer from mood disorders.
THE ROAD BACK is an inspiring story for anyone who struggles with depression or has a friend or family member who struggles with it.
Despite some progress in recent years, stigma around depression and mental illness still exists in our society. One of the best ways to counter stigma is to create a dialogue. Theater does this in an immediate and powerful way. Theater creates empathy. It can transform our hearts and minds. Dialogue can save people’s lives. We plan to reach out to the mental health community in New York City: people in recovery, families of those who are struggling, those who have struggled in the past. This is the kind of theater we love to create. Theater that can lead to real change.
If you’d like to help bring this story to the stage, please consider making a donation. Chrysalis Theatre Company is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization. Your donation is 100% tax deductible
Thank you for your support! It’s great to have you on this journey with us.
Stay tuned for more updates!
With Gratitude,
