Enter the tumultuous world of Next to Normal, where the line between reality and illusion blurs, and the complexities of love, loss, and mental illness collide. In a suburban home, secrets simmer beneath the surface, threatening to unravel the fragile threads holding a family together. Join us on an emotional rollercoaster as we navigate the highs and lows of life, love, and the pursuit of normalcy in this gripping, Tony-winning musical that dares to ask: what does it mean to be truly ‘normal’?

Due to the sensitive subject matter and scripted language, viewer discretion is advised. Director: Rodel Salazar Producer: Diana McClain Asst.
