"Next to Normal" focuses intensely on the crippling tribulations of a suburban family. This portrait of Diana Goodman, a manic-depressive housewife, and the people whom she both deeply loves and deeply wounds, invites us to consider the liberating effect of confronting the origins of our pain.
An emotional powerhouse, "Next to Normal" slices through to the staggering revelation of the cause of Diana's illness, and the impact it has had on her family: her husband, Dan, and her children, Natalie and Gabe. The momentum of the score mirrors the characters' confusion, disconnection and self-imprisonment.
Directed by Corey Rubel, the play features Bre Cade, Michael Ferentinos, Jared Picone, Shannon Kronstadt, Chris Cantalupo and Marc Mills.
Performances will be held at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays Feb. 8 -24. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students.
Tickets also are available online.
