Overview
L.A. Winters (A Thousand Word Pictures) and Savannah Rose Scaffe are teaming up to produce the play, The Fall to Earth, in hopes of raising money to benefit Crisis Text Line and To Write Love on Her Arms. An unexpected death throws Fay and her daughter Rachel together for the first time in years. Their funny, frustrating relationship takes on new life as they navigate tragedy in a cramped motel room. The Fall to Earth will premiere at The Robert Mello Studio as part of Yard Dogs Ensemble.

The Fall to Earth by Joel Drake Johnson is a peek into the world of undiagnosed generational mental illness and it's relational and heartbreaking consequences. This is a story that is screaming to be told in a society still grappling with accepting and treating mental health issues. We hope to produce this powerful and often hilarious play in hopes of raising money for two organizations that are near and dear to our hearts - Crisis Text Line and To Write Love On Her Arms. 

  • Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support for those in crisis. Text "HOME" to 741741 from anywhere in the US to text with a trained Crisis Counselor. Crisis Text Line trains volunteers to support people in crisis. They serve anyone, in any type of crisis, providing access to free, 24/7 support and information via a medium people already use and trust: text. 
     
  • To Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

We need to raise $5,000 to get this production up and off the ground.  
Donations will cover theatre rental, play rights, and other production costs that you can find in our nifty pie chart below. It's important to us that you know that our team is donating their time and resources - we will not be collecting any of the money personally.
