written and directed by Paul Joseph Gulino
produced by Nancy Greening
A full length madcap farce that explores what happens when a
school of acting opens up next door
to an outpatient psychiatric clinic.
Prepare yourself for actors
pretending to be crazy,
crazies trying to stay sane, and
a psychiatrist losing her grip on reality.
