​

2019 NYC Short Play Festival focusing on the

various perspectives on the complex issues of mental

health. 

​

Over 44 million American adults suffer from a mental condition today -- and the percentage of youth with mental health conditions is on the rise. The number of people who consider suicide their only option is escalating --- these are only the stories we hear--too many individuals are filled with shame, fear and isolation! It's time to HEAR the unspoken VOICES!!! It's time to challenge the stigma and break the silence!!!
