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.
"It was incredible. I’m in awe of your bravery... Extraordinary."
Key Words: Solo Show, Mental Health Resilience, Suicide Prevention, Family Estrangement, Singing
