Stomp the Stigma Stories
Returning for its second year, "Stories" by Stomp the Stigma is an evening of movement, music, and spoken word poems that we hope will awaken the senses to the tragedy, pain, struggle, hope, and triumph that is addiction and recovery. We invite you to join us and witness the deeply personal emotions, thoughts, and feelings involved with living through and talking about substance use, mental health disorders, and the hope and healing found in recovery.
Andiamo Dance Company, local musicians, and community members share a recovery journey through movement, music and spoken word.
This is a "pay what you can" event. We are grateful for any donation you can make to help the cause.
Please note that, while there is no minimum age limit for attendees, the featured pieces may contain sensitive subject matter and parental discretion is advised.
