A Note from the Director:
When I saw the shows that were being produced for this NTP season, I was immediately drawn to this work. Having dealt with personal issues as well as with family and friends, it was important to me to bring these stories to life and to promote open communication and reduce the stigma around these diseases. In this challenging stressful world, we need to always remember to be there for each other, to listen to each other and to understand that working together provides the best environment for people to seek help. I only hope that in sharing these stories, we can help continue the dialogue outside the theater.
-Thomas Pahl
Thank you to all of our volunteers who have worked so hard to make this production of Manic Monologues possible.
