About the performance:
The show is about 1 hour long, and if necessary it can be lengthened or shortened by 10-15 minutes to fit facility availability, block or lunch hour times. Songs and slam poetry are interspersed with facts about psychosis, which are delivered in a fun and interactive way by the MC, the lead singer of the band, and the slam poet. There are prize-driven mini quizzes throughout the show to include the audience in our show as much as possible.
