Want to hear with people are saying about 'TREATMENT' to make up your mind?
"THIS IS TREATMENT is not just theatre for the sake of entertainment but vital art that speaks to the heart. It provides the community and the audience with a mirror and a means to change, heal and grow." Liana Asim, Playwright
"THIS IS TREATMENT deals with the raw material of chronic addiction and turns it into gripping theatre. Story, dance, original music, and well placed humor make this new gem sparkle. It informs and educates the audience through an entertaining, inspiring tale. Given that the United States is in the grip of an opioid crisis, this musical is an all around 'must see'!"-Pam Newton, Therapist, Artistic Director at Dreamscape Project Group
"Elizabeth Addison has created a beautiful, heart-opening work that offers her audience an intimate view into the lives of ordinary women who bear extraordinary burdens of pain and hope. None of her characters are left secure to our assumptions; rather, the audience's spectating gaze is patiently transformed into one of learning, one of befriending, as Addison masterfully reveals what lies beneath the surface of each stay in treatment. This piece is deeply moving, with richly drawn characters, provocative dialogue, and a simplicity of stage design that allows the true structure of the musical to take center stage: the bonds of relationship that these women forge amidst the collision of their privacy and the necessary honesty that treatment requires. Viewers will leave not only more educated about the battles and victories of addiction but also about our shared humanity. This musical offers an unflinching invitation to step forward onto the stage and into the lives of the people we recognize before us as our mothers, our sisters, our lovers, our friends." - Jeremy Doran, Worship Leader at Beacon Community Church
"THIS IS TREATMENT is a shining, gritty example of theatre doing its most important work: providing testament the endurance and strength of the human spirit. It is a show with the potential to change and save lives, as long as we choose to check ourselves in."- M.J Halberstadt, Screenwriter/Playwright
"THIS IS TREATMENT could be titled This 'Is Being Human'!
Though the particulars are about substance abuse and journeys entangled with it, Elizabeth Addison let's us see ourselves on a range of function to dysfunction as humans, regardless of where we are on the spectrum of it all. That she does so through the power of the theatre is a special gift to us."- Peter DiMuro, Artistic Director of the Dance Complex.
