The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Berkshire County (NAMI-BC) is proud to present "Living With It". Coming off the successful run at Barrington Stage Co., most recently, this special one-night performance to benefit NAMI-BC will be held at Main Street Stage, 57 Main Street in North Adams on July 18 at 8pm. Tickets are $10 for this performance. For reservations and more information please contact the NAMI-BC office at 413-443-1666 or e-mail, namibc@namibc.org.
Written and performed by Frank La Frazia, "Living With It" portrays a young man who is coming of age, seeking independence and being dealt the responsibility of caring for a parent diagnosed with bi-polar illness. It is rooted in a factual story from a teen’s perspective. In the tradition of Spalding Grey, John Leguizamo, and Eric Bogosian, this poignant and humorous piece features Mr. La Frazia portraying several characters. At the conclusion of the show a "talkback" session will be held for the audience.
All proceeds go to benefit NAMI-BC's public education activities. NAMI members include individuals living with mental illness, their families and friends, and anyone interested in helping to achieve an integrated community where acceptance and hope are widespread. NAMI-BC is a member agency of the Northern Berkshire United Way. |
