Slide; A Quest for Mental Health

Written and performed by (Caren Lyn Manuel) Tackett (of Broadway’s Hair, Rent, High Fidelity, The Times They Are A Changing, & Brooklyn), Slides artfully and open-mindedly explores a subject that is often not a part of the cultural conversation; the misdiagnosis, mistreatment, and misplacement of those diagnosed with mental illness in our society. Slides is a fictionalized account of the author’s journey, accessible to all in one uplifting evening saturated with multiple arts disciplines including music, painting, movement, theatre and ice skating. That’s right. Ice skating.
