NAMI Southwestern Pennsylvania has been given a unique opportunity to partner with the cast of the hit Broadway musical
Next to Normal to raise awareness of mental illness. Described as
"an emotional powerhouse of a musical about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other", Next to Normal focuses on a mother struggling with bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has upon her family; the show also touches on themes such as grieving, suicide and psychiatric ethics.

I think it's great that NAMI Southwestern PA is going to be involved with this play when it comes to the Benedum.
The fact that this is a musical is really something. Those involved in the production really think "out of the box."
