Anxiety Takes Center Stage in “I Am Hope”
Mia Raye
What happens when the life of the party can’t leave her house because she suffers from anxiety and panic attacks? I Am Hope – a solo play by actress/playwright Mia Raye – puts a spotlight on anxiety disorders.
This international award-winning play follows a vibrant, outgoing version of Mia Raye’s younger self, who battles anxiety and panic attacks. Mia seeks acceptance and validation from her peers, but a trip home to Detroit helps her understand her family history. After receiving devastating news, she develops an anxiety disorder and panic attacks, which leave her home-bound. Mia transforms into 19 characters that have helped shape her life.
I Am Hope was developed in Emmy award-winning writer and teacher Matt Hoverman’s Go-Solo Workshop in New York City. By freely discussing her battle without shame, Mia hopes to reach people suffering in silence.
The show – free and open to the campus community – is sponsored by Campus Mental Health Services.
