What if almost everything you did felt like it could bring about the end of the world? Fear experts Maia and Susannah take you on a tour of their darkest secrets (and yours) in this one act comedy all about living with OCD and anxiety. So OCD! explores the irony, horror, and pure ridiculousness of growing up in a constant state of fight-or-flight through an interactive, multimedia play. When they don their lab coats, they’ll teach you the difference between real OCD and its stereotypes, introduce you to machines and algorithms to bring out the fears in all of us, and maybe sing a song or two. In sharing our experiences, we hope to open a larger dialogue about what OCD really looks like at the individual level and create a community that empowers others to investigate their own mental health journeys.
