My Big Break on Broadway
Joni Summerton
What if an aspiring Broadway actor living in Vancouver follows her dream, but winds up in a New York City psych ward instead?
The harrowing true story about how mean people caused my mental health condition, but how I reclaimed my voice for singing and advocacy.
Adapted from the memoir that took 10 years to write. Themes include family estrangement in the United States and embracing queer identity.
