THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT DEPRESSION...OR IS THERE? 

 

 

Therapy. Medication. Binge drinking. Codependency. A New York City singer/songwriter tries just about everything to overcome her depression. Will turning her struggle into a musical be the ultimate sign of recovery? Depression: The Musical (A Depressed Girl's Guide to Depression)* is a darkly humorous pop-rock musical about falling apart and putting yourself back together. Depression: The Musical was workshopped at The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC) in August 2014 and received a 4-star review in Time Out New York.
