We’re honored to bring The Center Cannot Hold to the stage in opera form. Based on Elyn Saks’ acclaimed memoir, The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness, the opera will be produced by the UCLA Center for Health Services and Society’s Narratives Project, which explores the effective use of patient narratives, media and creative arts to stimulate support, sharing and reflection among stakeholders to increase coping and compassion for severe mental illness.
If you would like to make an in-kind donation to help support the production of our three performances in July, please visit our IndieGogo page.
Donors will receive VIP tickets to the opera performance of their choosing and will also receive an invitation to the reception following the final performance as well as other perks.
We thank you in advance for your support with this project!
