2nd Act

Mission We change the way people and communities respond to the impact of substance use through theatre and drama therapy. Impact On June 27th, 2021, Improbable Players and Creating Outreach About Addiction Support Together merged together as 2nd Act. Both nonprofits had similar missions and saw this as an opportunity to provide more hope and healing to communities within OH, MA and RI. There is a combined 40+ years of history and employment of over 200 actors with lived experience. Our work is appropriate for 6th grade and up. We’ve performed at schools, conferences, hospitals, treatment centers, and community events across the country. Each play is 45 minutes with a 15 minute talk back. I’ll Never Do That – An intimate story of one family’s struggles happening behind closed doors. As one of the parents descends deeper into addiction, the rest of the family struggles to cope. This story sheds light on family dynamics, the harrowing path to recovery, and the overwhelming truth that addiction is a “family disease.” Four Legs to Stand On – Two illnesses are eating at this family’s foundation. Only cancer is allowed a voice at their table. This story exposes the secrecy that shrouds the topic of opioid addiction. Through humor and realism contrasted against hypocrisy this story invites the audience to take a seat at the table and acknowledge our American struggle with addiction. It is as close as family.
