2. For Employees (current or former employees of MHDDSA providers) who have lost or experienced reductions in hours, salary, benefits etc...
3. For Individuals who have lost some or all of their services within the MHDDSA system (includes residential and vocational). If the individual fears losing services but hasn't yet, fill out now and then again if/when the ind. does lose some or all of their services

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by David Edgar from the Novel by Charles Dickens
Location: 120 Country Club Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 (Paul Green Theatre)
Discussant: Peter Perault, MD
Tickets: Call PlayMakers at (919) 962-PLAY or visit http://www.playmakersrep.org/tickets/ 
  
The complete Dickens masterpiece comes to life! In a culture grown tired of the sound bite, we're seeing attention return to great storytelling traditions, and long before new masters such as JK Rowling, there was Charles Dickens, the greatest serial writer of them all. Edgar's adaptation takes us on a thrilling ride, with humor, fantastic turns of fate, and the rich, emotional moments that make up life's astounding journey.
 
MINDPLAY discussions are free and open to the public. MINDPLAY is hosted by PlayMakers Repertory Company and sponsored by the North Carolina Psychoanalytic Foundation, Lucy Daniels Foundation and the NC Psychoanalytic Society.
