What We Do

Erasing the Distance generates awareness, disarms stigma, and ignites the healing process by:

• Creating and performing professional theatrical productions based on the true stories of people’s experiences with mental illness.
• Holding facilitated discussions after every performance so that audience members can dialogue within a safe forum.
• Providing information, resources, and support from such respected organizations as NIMH (National Institute of Mental Health) so people can access help if they need it.

Erasing the Distance can also create original productions to share the stories of your unique community.
