DON’T CALL ME CRAZY is an evening of short plays and dialogue that will feature 5 short plays written by 5 Bay Area writers who give a glimpse into the world of those suffering with mental disability. In addition to the performances, there will be a post performance dialogue where guests will gain information on how to identify symptoms and signs of crisis, where to access behavioral health resources, knowledge on medications and their side affects, and busting myths and stereotypes. It will also serve as an opportunity for the public, behavioral health specialist and consumers to share experiences/recovery practices, discuss ways to create and maintain positive life conditions, and an opportunity to remember those individuals who have lost their lives to mental illness.
DON’T CALL ME CRAZY is dedicated to Aisha Grimes, who unexpectedly died after suffering an accidental overdose by-way of anti-depressant pills, on September 11, 2013 -one day shy of her 50th birthday. And to the countless individuals who have lost their lives, to those who continue to suffer in silence, and to those individuals fighting daily to promote their own mental health and "foster resilience in the face of distress, adversity, and mental illness".
