MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR March 3, 2011.
Don’t miss the Broadway Musical “NEXT TO NORMAL” NAMI support night at the 5th Avenue Theatre on Thursday, March 3, 2011. The 5th Avenue will donate $10 of each ticket sold to sustain vital NAMI Statewide and Eastside efforts to support, educate and advocate for those and their families and friends who suffer from a mental illness.
“NEXT TO NORMAL” is an “emotional powerhouse—a story about the stop/start life of a bipolar mother and the hell her unreality wreaks on her family as she rides the sharp edge between coping and insanity”. Come early for an educational presentation at 7:00 pm by Dr. Delaney Ruston on her film, “Unlisted: A Story of Schizophrenia”.
When ordering tickets, use the promo code “NAMI”. For information about how to order tickets, check out the NAMI Eastside website at http://www.nami-eastside.org/
Please share information about this performance with everyone who should see “NEXT TO NORMAL” and support NAMI.
