Don’t miss the chance to catch Victoria Maxwell’s newest show for free; Funny, You Don’t Look Crazy, at 7pm on Tuesday, September 22 at Revelstoke’s Performing Arts Centre.
This is the much anticipated sister show to her hit, Crazy for Life. This 90-minute high energy, irreverent one-woman show is the second installment of her bipolar escapades, capturing the world of work before, during, and after bipolar disorder, anxiety and psychosis.
Follow her mad dash from acting with John Travolta to Safeway cashiering. From wearing backless hospital greens to participating in vocational rehab and then back into employment again.
This true life story both entertains and educates, exploding stigmas and revealing glimpses of what a psychiatric illness looks like and the journey back into work.
At its essence, the play is a celebration of the richness of life, the strength of the human spirit and the power of the human heart.
Audience members walk away with an expanded vision not of what’s improbable, but instead of what is possible.
“Victoria takes the painful reality of living with mental illnesses and turns it into some thing we can understand, laugh with her about and come away feel ing empowered and ready to take action. Brava!” – Sue Bergeson, Past President, Depression Bipolar Support Alliance.
Winner for the Moondance Festival Award for Best One Act.
