Improbable Players is a non-profit touring theater company that presents different plays that spotlight tough social problems as they relate to substance abuse: alcoholism in the family, peer pressure, relationship violence, HIV/AIDS, elderly health issues, and many others.
The performances make the tragedy of substance abuse real. The Players stand up, speak out, and help to tear down the stigma still associated with the problem. They help people learn more about the patterns of substance abuse, motivate them to talk about the issues raised, and ask for help. |
