My Healing Place Participates in ZACH's Production of Next to Normal

The February 23rd performance of ZACH's presentation of Next to Normal, the Pulitzer prize winning Broadway musical about a family's struggle, finding hope, and light following the death of a child, featured a "talk back" session with the cast and My Healing Place's Clinical Director Khris Ford. Khris had also spent a week with the cast of Next to Normal providing insight into how families grieve after the death of a child.

"What a great chance to wed our work with the arts in our community! This production offered a rare look at grief within the family dynamic. It has been a unique opportunity to bring awareness to those who may not understand the complexities of grief when a child dies. I'm so grateful to David Steakley and the cast for their gifts given in Next to Normal." Khris Ford commenting on her opportunity to work with the Zach-Scott cast during their weeks of rehearsal of the musical production of Next to Normal.

Our thanks to cast member and My Healing Place Advisory Council member Jamie Goodwin for helping to make this happen. Thank you also to Maria and Eric Groten who sponsored this production and also helped to arrange for our special night at Zach. It was a wonderful and emotional night.
