This program is part of EXPOSURE: A Series of New Developments in Disability Arts & Culture
The autobiographical solo show “A Little Bit Not Normal” revolves around a secret that had been kept for over six decades and discovered at a family wedding. With her trademark humor, Arlene Malinowski confronts her own state of mind when depression slipped in through her basement window, lit a cigarette and made himself at home. Exploring the shame and secrecy that comes from mental illness because of the stigma that is so attached to it. “A Little Bit Not Normal” is the journey from mental illness to recovery and the story of naming it, claiming it and standing to be counted.
