The Paterson Performing Arts Development Council (PPADC) is pleased to present a performance of Call Me Crazy, a one-woman show by New Jersey poet, actress, and drug and HIV/AIDS counselor Helena D. Lewis.After being assigned more work than she can handle, social worker Lewis has a nervous breakdown, tries to kill her boss and is admitted for psychiatric observation. After being restrained, Lewis recalls her true-life experiences working with prostitutes, drug addicts and prisoners, portraying twenty-five different characters ranging from pimps to menopausal women. Winner of the Downtown Urban Theater Festival’s Best Short award and a 2014 Audelco for Best Solo-Performance, Call ME Crazy is a one-woman tour de force that takes a unique look at the highs and lows of working for peanuts while trying to save the world one poem at a time.For more on the playwright go to www.hdlpoet.comThis event is part of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance 2023 Stages Festival, made possible by support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
