Our Mission

To provide compassionate support to individuals facing mental health challenges and disabilities, with a unique focus on building awareness and empowering minds through performing arts and entertainment. We are committed to enhancing the quality of life by creating engaging and creative platforms that promote access to essential resources, foster community engagement, and empower individuals to realize their full potential. By leveraging the universal language of art and entertainment, we strive to let people know we see them, and that they do not have to face their mental health struggles alone.

Cheese Fries & Chili Dips

“What happens when a clever young pro golfer walks into a comedy club? If the fugitive from the pro golf tour is Chris Fuller, look for laughter and tears – because he’s funny – genuinely funny – and he’s been plagued by Bi-polar mood swings for years. Engagingly honest, Chris Fuller delves deep into his garage full of hopes, dreams, disappointments and memories, compassionately displaying the inventive, often self-deprecating timing some comics are naturally blessed with. Directed by Mark S. Graham, “Cheese Fries & Chili Dips” is enormously touching and a rollicking good time.”

-Susan Granger, member of broadcast and film critics association.
