Rubber City Theatre is excited to announce the first production in their new “Discovery Series”, a new works program that began with the 2018-2019 season. As part of the Discovery Series, Rubber City Theatre presents readings of new plays and musicals, as well as workshop productions. Workshops are staged presentations that have basic tech and a short rehearsal process to give the idea of how this piece would work if it was fully staged. A touching new musical The Anxiety Project will be presented at the Black Box at Fort Romig in three workshop performances September 7th, 2018 through September 8th, 2018.

Synopsis

Grad student Avery is in her final semester at Notre Dame and in just a few short weeks, she will earn her doctorate in Psychology and open her own practice. That’s assuming she finishes her thesis – a study of the mechanics of mental illness and how science can change lives. Case after case, Avery becomes immersed in the lives of these patients – the day to day struggles of anxiety, depression, suicide, medication. But when one of the cases hits very close to home, Avery realizes that numbers only tell part of the story of mental illness.
