他们没有商业团队，甚至不太懂怎么卖票，只是一股脑儿地想让更多人正视心理健康。看着他们从零开始，那份热诚挺动人的。

我已经买票(RM28 only😊)支持了，如果你那天(May 29 & 30, 8pm) 刚好有空，或者对心理健康话题感兴趣，不妨来看看。也可以买票請年轻朋友看🤗

每个人都有选择支持或不支持的权利，只希望他们的这份心意不会因为“没人知道”而遗憾谢幕。

也謝謝你把这訊息看完🤭

This is a simple writeup on what and why of the play

*What happens behind closed doors when the "brave face" finally slips?*

For many in our community, the battle with mental illness is fought in silence and isolation. To bring these stories to light, we are producing a new play titled "I'm Just a Little Unwell."

This production is an intimate, raw exploration of the inner lives of those struggling with mental health challenges, designed to foster empathy and ignite vital conversations

Why This Matters “

We aren’t just putting on a show; we are building a bridge. Our mission is two-fold:
Awareness: To strip away the stigma of mental illness by showing the human reality behind the diagnosis.

Connection: To prove that no one has to walk this path alone.

We are proud to collaborate with Befrienders, a premier NGO dedicated to su***de prevention and emotional support. This partnership ensures that our message is backed by professional resources, offering the audience immediate avenues for help and conversation.

Awareness starts with just one step.
