About the Play: Funded by the Orange County Mental Health Services Act awarded to Orange County Behavioral Health Services, Third Tree on the Left offers personal insight into living with mental illness. Featuring eleven performers ranging in age from thirteen years old to over fifty, authentic voices of those living with mental illness and a family member are used to recount experimental treatments, young diagnoses, homelessness and suicide through the arts of drama and storytelling. Third Tree on the Left weaves storytelling, music, and emotional themes into a work of hope.
