by Angelle Albright - January 29, 2019

This unique musical tackles the difficult subject of a family coping with mental illness, and Lapeyrouse, pulling from his own life experiences, felt a responsibility to take the powerful message even further by striving to make a difference in the community. He teamed up with NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness, to give back, but most importantly, after each performance, the entire cast, along with local professionals hold a powerful panel discussion with willing audience members.
