Erasing the Distance is a non-profit arts organization founded in 2005 with the mission to disarm the deadly stigma that surrounds mental illness through the simple, but difficult task of sharing personal stories. Stories are initially shared in an interview style setting, then transcribed and shaped into monologues that actors perform for live audiences across the country. Each live performance is followed by a facilitated conversation allowing the audience to open up about their own experiences, ask questions, unpack personal bias, and gain a greater understanding of what it means to live with and manage mental health issues. "One Story At a Time" invites you into the interview portion of the story collection process to give you a full and unfiltered window into the beautiful, messy details that make up a life.
