Thursday, May 5, 2011 ……………………………………7:30 p.m. at Rhode Island College

Michael Mack has performed his work “Hearing Voices, Speaking in Tongues” for more than 10 years at American colleges and universities, psychiatric hospitals, museums, churches, festivals, and conferences.
This brilliant, creative one-man show is a powerful and unique form of art, an intimate look into the family dynamics around mental illness, complete with difficulties, desperation, love, and hope. It is his story about his childhood as the oldest of four children whose mother had schizophrenia.
“I began to write about her life as a way to revisit events that deeply shaped our family… It’s evolution over 10 years of development reflects my coming to terms with a childhood that was sometimes desperate, sometimes magical, but always richly textured. . . It is a work in progress.”
Come to at least one of these performances!
You will be entertained and deeply moved.
