TRU STORY: Behind the Musical with Panel Discussion
Pillars Community Health presents TRU STORY: A one-hour virtual presentation featuring songs from the musical TRU on Thursday, May 27 at 7 pm, followed by a panel discussion at 8 pm. TRU highlights the life of “Truman,” a man living with mental illness. The musical debuted with a sold-out run at the 2018 Chicago Musical Theatre Festival where it took home 14 nominations and 2 wins for “Best Choreography” and “Best Music.” During TRU STORY, Gosz and Fotos unpack the origins of sharing their own mental health journeys through the medium of musical theatre, and encourage viewers to find a way to tell their truths. Following the presentation, Pillars Community Health will lead a panel discussion with mental health leaders from west suburban organizations including NAMI Metro Suburban, Riveredge Hospital, and Cicero Family Services.
