The Lise J. Fiato Fundamental Follies Theatre Company
Each Spring the Lise J. Fiato Fundamental Follies Theater Company presents an original play. The show is a testimony to what people with a mental health diagnosis can achieve. The dynamics of theatre, including writing, acting, singing, and dancing serve as a nontraditional avenue of dedication to process as well as a unique opportunity for communication and collaboration between providers and recipients.
Utilizing a satirical theme allows us all to look at ourselves in a refreshingly different light and to inject the crucial element of humor into the serious business of recovery.
