Thursday - Saturday August 14-16 & 24- 26 $15-$20 - Madhouse Rhythms by Joshua Walters
I saw the workshop of this piece back during the EDT Mixtapes in February and immediately knew I wanted to produce it. Joshua is raw and honest and funny and it's a very real look at what it means to be bi-polar. I was stunned then, and now it's back with even more. Madhouse Rhythm is an autobiographical collage based on one man's experience with madness. A variety of styles, including hip hop theater, spoken word and beatbox infuse this humorous tail. Join Joshua as he takes you inside the mind of a man captured in the throws of a psychotic breakdown, forced to make sense of being locked away in a madhouse. Tickets are available in advance at www.climatetheater.com
"I worked as a professional in Mental Health for over 40 years and never saw such a lucid exposition of the reality of symptoms, medication and awareness. This message should be broadcast." -Paul Gorman, Psychologist
