WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS? (or: One of Those People)

Dominique Millette, our guest playwright, brings compassion and understanding of how stigma can hurt those with brain disorder. Her perspective echoes the words of many who have been stigmatized by others. Her wish is that those who interact with those diagnosed with mental illness will recognize this wake-up call to end stigma. Though seen through a glass darkly, this one-act, one-woman play hammers home the unfortunate stereotypes accompanying bipolar disorder. She touches on loneliness, forsaken dreams, relationships with family and friends, and the unforgettable injunctions that her bipolar is only a matter of willpower or not trying. Bipolars and others with mental illness, significant others, teachers, clergy and physicians, and, hopefully, the general public will be touched by Millett's plea for acceptance and support. A kaleidoscope of attitude, anger, futility, and wry humor, What Are You, Nuts? Or: One Of Those People makes a strong--and necessary statement.

Any good scout worth their salt know to, Be Prepared. That’s good advice for all of us. We never know when we will be hit with a devastating "act of God". From flash floods, to tornadoes, you just never know if you will be hit next.
