next to normal

Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart.

Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.

"Next to Normal" contains mature themes and content, including depictions of mental illness, substance abuse, suicide, and grief, making it unsuitable for younger audiences.

Tickets: Adults $13, Seniors/Military $11, Student $8
