At its best, art is transporting but also useful. The non-profit organization A Light in Dark Places gathers talented artists to put on an entertaining show that, in producer-artistic director Kelly O’Malley’s words, seeks to “break down stigma surrounding the topic of suicide by using the performing arts to encourage healthy discussion, create community and offer hope to those affected.” Starting this weekend, Los Angeles audiences can check out ALIDP’s 8th Annual Plays for Hope.
The series presents five short plays — a mix of comedy and drama — to provide a variety of experiences for those who have been touched by suicide or for those who want to learn more.
And if you are a creative looking to get involved, good news! Actors, writers and directors in the area (and in Dallas, where they mount a Spring production at the Bath House Cultural Center) are encouraged to visit the website, where you can submit a play, learn about auditions or donate to the organization.
