Playwrights Local presents The Phoenix Society, a new play by Peter Lawson Jones exploring mental health and chemical dependency disorders. Directed by Terrence Spivey, this starkly realistic drama runs May 20 through 29. This workshop production is presented with Life Exchange Center (LEC), a certified peer support drop-in center in Cleveland. SYNOPSIS: Will Coulter, a widower with a teenage daughter, comes home from the war in Afghanistan. He returns with a debilitating case of PTSD and depression as well as a drug addiction, the severity of which he denies. Can a support group of men and women save him?
