“You’re Not Alone” Documentary Premiere @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater

"You're Not Alone" Documentary Premiere @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater

Join Milwaukee PBS and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for the premiere screening of “You’re Not Alone,” a documentary about youth mental health. Stay after the film for a talk-back with the filmmakers and the four young people featured in the documentary. This event is free and open to the public. Children are welcome but please note the film deals sensitively with difficult subjects like suicide and sexual assault.

Seats will be available first to those with Eventbrite tickets and then to others as availability allows. If your plans change, please cancel your Eventbrite ticket so we can accommodate as many people as possible.

More about the film:

The 30-minute film follows four young people from Wisconsin navigating mental health challenges. They’ve endured assault, bullying, incarceration and discrimination. Some thought about suicide. But through the pain they found support from family, friends and strangers. They found strength within themselves. They’re sharing their stories to let others know they’re not alone and that healing is possible.

The film is an extension of USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin’s Kids in Crisis series, which over the past three years has uncovered rising suicide rates and gaps in mental health care in Wisconsin.

RUMORS @ Black Box Theater

By Neil Simon
Directed by Jonathan Davidson

Set in the nineties, RUMORS, a farce by Neil Simon, is beloved for its laugh-out-loud, fast-paced wit. When a few couples are planning to get together for a quiet dinner party, everything changes before anyone even gets there. Mistaken identities, misinformation, and a visit from the police all mix together to make up one of the funniest plays of the 20th century.
