What you’ll see in action: This performance will have an onstage prompter throughout the evening who will be an integrated part of the stage action. Having a professional prompter allows veteran performers with high levels of PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) to feel safe and have confidence on stage so the focus in performance becomes being able to tell the story and express the emotions of the moment rather than struggle for the lines.
