Normal Like Us! The Depression Chronicles

LuckyChaos Theater Projects presents:
Normal Like Us! The Depression Chronicles
Opens March 2, 10pm at Salvage Vanguard Theater
Collaborative. Experimental. Music. Humor. Drama. OUR STORIES

How can someone convey the experience of living with depression and do it in a way that is both easy to understand and entertaining? Leng Wong, producing director of Lucky Chaos Theater, set out to do just that with Normal Like Us! The Depression Chronicles. The show is a collaborative, experimental production of performers with first-hand experience. It combines humor, music, and drama to present the realities of life with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. “Our show is like a painting,” says Wong. “We paint what we feel and hang it on the wall. It’s there for you to see, to experience. How you interpret that painting is up to you.”

Normal Like Us! The Depression Chronicles premieres on Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 10:00 p.m. at the Salvage Vanguard Theater, 2803 Manor Road Manor Road, Austin, Texas 78722. The company will continue to present the show on the first Saturday of each month through August (April 6, May 4, June 1, July 6, and August 3.)

The performers in this ensemble-based work offer views from the inside. Most cast members are Austin artists who perform regularly and are trained in voice, theater, and improvisation. Some cast members are not trained performers, and will be appearing on stage for the first time to share their experiences. The vignettes use music, humor and drama to illustrate their personal perspective of the subject. The show includes an original mini-musical written by Austin musicians/songwriters Jeff Luna and Eddie Lehwald. Live accompaniment by Eddie!

Of the seemingly timely mounting of a production about mental health, which has been front and center on the national and international stage lately, Ms. Wong says, “It’s a cause for concern and compassion for many, but it is also associated with much misunderstanding, misrepresentation, and even fear. It’s usually invisible and doesn’t discriminate based on gender, race, ethnicity, income, or background. I hope Normal Like Us! The Depression Chronicles will give an underrepresented community a new voice, present theater as therapeutic entertainment, and create a safe space for shared experience.”
