In My Own Little Corner: My Work In Progress With Bipolar Disorder unravels Veteran stage and film actress, Chryssie Whitehead’s diagnosis with Bipolar Disorder at the age of 38, while simultaneously making peace with the passing of her mother. Parts comedy, tragedy, and love story, it’s a strikingly honest look at the generational patterns and behaviors interwoven between a mother and her daughter as they lived out vastly different lives with regards to their mental health. IMOLC seeks to stop the stigma behind the still rarely discussed disorder and normalize conversations around mental health, so people feel less shocked or ashamed upon diagnosis or when someone they love is diagnosed. After each performance, Chryssie and Dr. Alisa Hurwitz opens up a conversation with the audience in a safe and affirming space. The show promotes and raises funds for mental health services in the communities where it is presented.
