Partially funded by the Mental Health Services Act Funds and the Orange County Behavioral Health Services and in collaboration with California State University Fullerton, this monumental exhibition features a gallery exhibition as well as art workshops, writing seminars,plays, movie screenings, and music performances to raise awareness about stigmas associated with the mental health community.
CSUF Grand Central Art Center Theatre and Stop Gap Theatre presents the groundbreaking play Third Tree on the Left. The Stop Gap Theatre company is a non-profit organization based in Costa Mesa, CA founded by Don Laffoon as part of a therapeutic and educational drama program.
Supported by Mental Health Services Act, Third Tree on the Left offers personal insight into living with mental illness. Featuring eleven performers ranging in age from thirteen years old to over fifty, authentic voices are used to recount experimental treatments, young diagnoses, homelessness and suicide through the arts of drama and storytelling. These candid narratives can be inspiring without shying away from difficult material. Third Tree on the Left weaves storytelling, music, and emotional themes into a work of hope.
