Stranger with the Truth is an interdisciplinary theater piece blending acting, live movement, and original music. Written and directed by Miranda Janeschild, is based on a true story.Janeschild portrays nuanced family relationships while a member experiences the onset of psychosis. The story doesn’t focus on the individual or the disease. Rather, it highlights the family dynamics: the bonds between siblings expressed through music and physicality; the personal journey of denial, blame, and the timing of acceptance; and unexpected encounters that foster self-reflection and honesty.<h4>What to Expect</h4><ul><li>A 90-minute live performance in an intimate setting</li><li>Movement, music, and text woven together</li><li>A story centered on family, mental health, and memory</li></ul><h4>Post-Show Panels — Friday &amp; Saturday evenings</h4>A brief moderated conversation bringing together community members who have direct experience living with, supporting, and caring for individuals with severe schizophrenia will share their insights.Cast: Brady Aiello · Emerson Kapture · Zeus Fae · Kirk Glaser · Heidi RiellyWritten &amp; Directed by Miranda Janeschild Production Manager Robbie Fitzsimmons<a href="https://mirandacompany.com/" title="https://mirandacompany.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">mirandacompany.com</a> |<a href="https://www.satoriarts.org/" title="https://www.satoriarts.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> satoriarts.org</a>Tickets $32 in advance · Sliding Scale $$35-$40 at the door (cash or Venmo)<h4>Dates &amp; Location</h4>May 1–3 and May 8–10 Satori Arts 815 Almar Ave, Unit #9, Santa CruzPlease note: The theater is in a converted industrial building.
