Overview
Project Summary:
Dirty Laundry is a theatrical production created to raise awareness about mental health issues. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. While 20% of Canadians will suffer from mental illness in their lifetime, only 1/3 of those who need mental health services receives them. The play is written and performed by Marilyn Avient, a champion of mental health since her recovery from mental illness.
Dirty Laundry debuted on Vancouver Island, and also performed in the Yukon and Alberta. The production is poised to launch a national tour to 5 major cities across Canada. While promoting awareness about mental health, the Dirty Laundry Tour will raise funds for local mental health initiatives across Canada.
Deliverables:
* 10 performances in 5 cities to an anticipated audience in excess of 2,500 people;
* National and local awareness re mental health issues; and
* All net of cost proceeds to be donated to local mental health initiatives.
