One of the most popular mental illnesses in movies— Bipolar Disorder— is often depicted with bizarre and off-base representations of sexually promiscuous, Jekyll and Hyde-type young women. Not very often does a work of fiction touch on the familial impact of mental health. Even less often? Sympathetic characters. In Next to Normal, an Off-Broadway rock musical, the story of a mother with worsening bipolar disorder and her family is portrayed with appropriate nuance. The award-winning musical about mental illness in a suburban household will debut at Owen’s on Friday, April 8. 7:30pm Friday & Saturday, 3pm Sunday. April 8-10 & 15-17. $12/general, $8/students and seniors.
