Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey and Music by Tom Kitt,

Next to Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. A story that takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart. This deeply moving piece of theatre provides a wonderful opportunity for performers to explore dramatic material and showcase vocal talents with an energetic pop/rock score. Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.

This student-run independent project has been produced and directed by Fairfield University students to test their skills, challenge themselves, and produce an important piece about struggles, resilience, and light.

This project is sponsored by The Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation, Theatre Fairfield, Fairfield University Arts Institute, and Visual and Performing Arts Department.
