Artist’s Note – Heather the Musical
I feel incredibly lucky to be in this production of Heathers. Not only is it one of the
most high energy, hysterical and dynamic shows I’ve ever been a part of, it has a
unique and challenging significance in my life. There are countless elements in
Heathers that I can identify with, but what resonates with me the most is the emphasis
the show has on suicide. When I was fourteen, I lost my father to suicide. He suffered
from mental illness and alcoholism for the majority of my life, but still the loss was
overwhelming. Soon after his death, I decided to get involved in the suicide
prevention community and promised myself that I would speak out about this topic
that is ignored far too often. Heathers is a piece of theatre that doesn’t shy away from
suicide, and I think it is extremely eye opening for those who don’t know much about
the topic.
Losing someone to suicide is a unique loss, and to most survivors, it is isolating. Once
suicide touches your life, you become used to people changing the subject when it’s
brought up in conversation. You become used to people feeling uncomfortable around
you when they find out it has impacted you life. The older I get, the more I realize that
isn’t because they are rude or hardhearted people, it’s because they have grown up in
a world where it’s taboo and frightening to talk about a subject like suicide. Because I
am someone who has experienced it first hand, I feel I have a responsibility to talk
about it. I have a responsibility to fight the stigma that surrounds suicide, not only for
fellow survivors, but for those who are struggling and feel that they have to suffer
alone. A few years ago, I decided to get involved so I started volunteering with The
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, an organization that raises awareness,
sponsors educational and therapeutic services, and raises money for programs to help
reduce suicide rates. I helped plan and run events for them, and eventually became the
co-founder of their Junior Executive Board in New York City. I’ve connected myself
with the Michigan chapter of AFSP and have even become an advocate for other
Lansing-based organizations like Silence Shoot, a powerful photo shoot project aimed
to show support for victims of bullying and suicide. I’ve immersed myself in a
community where you are encouraged to talk about suicide and depression, and I’ve
found that most people are willing to listen if you tell them your story.
Heathers is such a special opportunity for me, because not only am I am able to
pursue my passion for acting in a show that I absolutely adore, but I get to showcase a
topic that is so close to my heart. I get to use art to encourage people to talk about
issues that are too often thrown to the side because of fear or a lack of information. I
admire Heathers because of its fearlessness to explore dark topics. It forces you to
examine suicide and other vital issues like bullying and violence, that are as real in
Lansing, Michigan today as they are in this show. It is my hope that in the midst of
this exciting and compelling show, my hometown will be inspired to think of suicide
in a different light. And that, will be beautiful.
