CONCORD, NH – Outside the Wire, a social impact company, will present a performance of The Addiction Performance Project as part of The NH Providers Association Annual Behavioral Health Conference in Concord on October 15, from 5:30- 7:30 p.m.
The Addiction Performance Project presents dramatic readings of Act Three of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night as a catalyst for town hall discussions about the disease of addiction as it touches patients, families, communities, and health professionals who work in the fields of primary care, nursing, and clinical bioethics. The reading/discussion format is intended to break down the stigma associated with addiction and promote healthy dialogue among diverse communities – public and professional–fostering compassion, cooperation, and understanding about people who are living with the disease of addiction.
The reading is followed by a panel discussion, led by a diverse group of community members, culminating in a facilitated town hall discussion. The entire presentation will be roughly two hours long. The event is open to the general public and is being held at the Capitol Center for the Arts. Tickets are $10 and available at the box office or by clicking here.
The Addiction Performance Project was originally developed by Outside the Wire with support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Outside the Wire has presented the Addiction Performance Project at prominent medical conferences, hospitals, and medical schools throughout the United States for audiences comprised of primary care physicians and other medical professionals. These performances have featured well-known actors such as Blythe Danner, Kathy Chalfant, Dianne Wiest, Kathryn Erbe, Mare Winningham, and Debra Winger in the role of Mary Tyrone.
Featuring Maryann Plunkett, Will Lyman, Jamie Sanders and Sally Wood.
