Some Things Have to Be Said and NAMI Fundraising Performance
Tough Conversations About Sexuality, Suicide, and Coming of Age - a panel discussion in conjunction with Spring Awakening
A panel discussion entitled Some Things Have to Be Said: Tough Conversations About Sexuality, Suicide, and Coming of Age will follow the matinee performance of Spring Awakening on Sunday, April 26th . A panel comprised of mental health professionals and children’s services advocates will engage the community in a discussion about themes and topics pulled from the production’s subject matter. Confirmed panelists include Dr. Suzanne Ricklin (Faculty, Institute for Advanced Psychotherapy and Education, Inc.), Dr. Helen Bellette (psychiatrist), Valerie P. Harvey (Adolescent Resource Specialist, Office of Children’s Services), Carla Spence (Howard County Chapter of National Alliance on Mental Illness), and a representative from Voices for Change (Howard County Teen Advocacy organization).
Red Branch is pleased to partner again with the Howard County chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). A portion of the proceeds raised from tickets purchased for the April 26th show will be donated to NAMI to help them continue their important work building better lives for individuals affected by mental illness. Patrons who wish for a portion of the proceeds from their ticket to go to NAMI Howard County should mention the organization at the time of ticket purchase for the April 26th performance either online or by phone.
The discussion is free and open to the public. To purchase tickets for the performance, please visit the Red Branch website.
