ABOUT MENTAL THE MUSICAL - A Heartfelt Musical Comedy
Life at the Sunshine House, a psychiatric "relaxation home" isn't quite the same now that a bedbug infestation has taken over everyone’s individual living quarters, now forcing three women to live together in the recreation room. Neither Gert, a feisty and eccentric 70 year-old, Cheryl, a menopausal 50 year-old who has a distrust of redheads, o

r Darcy, an insecure gothic twenty-something, take kindly to their new living arrangement. Harmonious living doesn’t seem possible and life for these three women gets hilariously insane as they try to work through their life challenges in a communal space. It will entertain you, inspire you - make you laugh, cry and cry laughing. Book, lyrics, music and arrangements by playwright and composer, Taneka Bazemore-Bennett. Directed by Robin Rich-McGhie; Music Director and Arranger, Dr. John Henry Jr.; Choreographer, Jason Aryeh; Vocal Coach, Dr. Van-Anthony Hall.
