Funding for our Show Will reach Thousands
Reducing Stigma toward mental illness & Creating Awareness One Show at a Time!
Bipolar disease. It's a slow and silent killer. It compromises a sufferer's well being, relationships and in many cases, life itself. Often mistaken for the more serious "schizophrenia", it's the secret medical disorder that nobody wants to talk about. Those who want to know more don't know what questions to ask. Those who suffer from it rarely know how to respond to those that ask.
Over the past year we have been performing a powerful show, in 7 cities, that addresses the issue of bipolar disorder. We are committed in helping to reduce the stigma attached to mental illness and provide support and awareness for those in need. We have developed a performance piece that is successfully accomplishing these things every time we perform.
We would like to be able to present our show at Windsor's Historic Capitol Theatre for tour groups to attend on a regular basis as well as being able to bring the show to the many scholastic institutions in the Windsor/Essex County area. Ideally, because the show is minimalist in style and because touring it is so easy and economical, we would love to take it across Ontario and even Canada as bipolar disorder knows no boundaries and people everywhere are affected in some capacity.
Approximately half the suicides reported can be attributed to bipolar disorder. The statistics are staggering as well as alarming.
We would be very grateful for consideration for an opportunity to be an Aviva Community Fund recipient.
Sincerely, Michelle J. Mainwaring & Jason Gale, respectfully

The show has been modified to be suitable for high school students and above.
