REAL MENTAL ILLNESS & UNDERSTANDING IT
Here at the Lazarus Maze Interactive Theater we use the theme of the Bellshire Mental Hospital. The Bellshire is a fictional place, but the theme is not. Mental illness is a real and misunderstood problem for millions of people. We make every attempt not to make fun of the mentally ill. That is why we don't use patients in our play, each person you meet is the illness itself. Many of our staff members have family that are dealing with mental illness or addictions of one sort or another. So we personaly understand the sterotypes that come with the illness.
There are many resources on the Internet or your local Health Department to learn more about Mental Health. We have included a few here.
