Abstract

The article focuses on the upcoming play "THIS IS CRAZY!" created by playwright V, formerly known as Eve Ensler, to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Scheduled for a one-night performance in New York City on October 6, 2025, and a subsequent show in Los Angeles in 2026, the play features a notable cast and presents monologues that explore personal experiences with mental illness. Proceeds from the performances will support NAMI's mission to provide advocacy, education, and support for those affected by mental health conditions. The initiative is inspired by the legacy of Chris Huvane, a talent manager who struggled with depression and aimed to raise awareness about mental health issues. [Extracted from the article]
