Life Interrupted is a 2023 drama stage play written, directed, and produced by Elder Chanté Thompson. During Mental Health Awareness Month, we will shed light on mental health challenges and overcoming those obstacles. Meet seven patients who learn how to heal spiritually while dealing with their mental health obstacles.

This play’s story is told from inside a mental health institution by mental health patients who describe their pain and struggle. One suffers from PTSD, another is bipolar, another has schizophrenia, another has an eating disorder, another has dissociative disorder, and another has depression. In a world where mental health challenges are on the rise, meet this phenomenal cast as they deliver an exceptional dramatic performance and help our community understand, work through, and recover from this nationwide crisis.

The play stars Kaneya Morgan, Marcus Davis, Lorrie Davis, Nick Gamble, Chanale Taylor, Nadia Palacios, Kevin (CJ) Harrison, Cornelius Wyatt, Edward Crews, Robin Willingham, Octavia Latrice, Howard Lee, Maurice Lee, Anissa Stewart, Freddie Simmons, Rachel Johnson, and Khloe’ Holbert.

Shadow Hour by the Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, Apr 5-28

Shadow Hour by the Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse, Apr 5-28

Shadow Hour
by Ralph Tropf
directed by: Nicole Mullens-Teasley

April 5 – 28, 2024
Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, Sunday matinees at 2PM

Location: Bowie Community Theatre at the Bowie Playhouse

General Admission – $25.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $20.00.

Shadow Hour is an exciting courtroom drama for the stage. A jury is given the task of assigning guilt or innocence to a United States Senator accused of sexual assault. As the jury debates the testimony, flashbacks to the trial show how the members of the panel interpret the evidence through their own bias. Flashbacks to the actual events of the “crime” show how the witnesses themselves also add bias to the evidence. The truth is lost in shadows.
