What size groups do you perform for at any given time?

We’ve performed for as small of an audience as 25 and as big of one as 750 at any one time. We have found that 100 – 200 is a good size, however, for a substantive dialogue to occur afterward, especially in high school and college settings.

How much does it cost for you to come out?

Our prices vary depending on the venue. We try to make our fees sensitive to the different budgets of groups that we serve. Please call or email us and we’re happy to discuss this with you.

When are you available to perform?

We perform days, evenings, and weekends. Just give us approximately 4 weeks notice so the details can be ironed out and you can market the event!

Do you offer mental health trainings for faculty and staff in addition to your productions?

We do offer trainings through our partnerships with local mental health professionals and organizations. 90-minute faculty and staff trainings by local LCPC’s and LCSW’s are done at high schools and colleges we tour to prior to the performance date so school leaders can learn about signs, symptoms, skills, and resources for helping students in distress.

What about trainings for students?

Through our partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness – Greater Chicago (NAMI-GC), we offer an 8 hour crash course on peer counseling for students. There they learn about mental illness signs and symptoms, the difference between myths and facts regarding brain disorders, as well as active, non-judgmental, non-directive listening skills to use with peers.
