Trustus Theatre is pleased to celebrate Recovery Month in September with the production of People, Places and Things by Duncan Macmillan. Directed by Artistic Director Dewey Scott-Wiley and starring Christine Hellman as Emma, People, Places and Things is an exhilarating trip into addiction, rehab, identity, and ultimately, recovery.

National Recovery Month (Recovery Month), which started in 1989, is an observance held every September to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation’s strong and proud recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make recovery in all its forms possible.

Trustus is partnering with community organizations LRADAC and The Courage Center to bring real life experts to the space. Sunday matinee performances of the play will feature a post-show talkback with guests from LRADAC and The Courage Center to talk about recovery and the role of addiction in arts based communities. Patrons can enjoy a new, larger variety of non alcoholic beverages throughout the run of the show.

As the home for relevant, innovative, and inclusive theatrical works in Columbia, South Carolina, Trustus is committed to telling stories that speak to the human experience, and People, Places and Things is a prime example of art that touches members of its community deeply.

Season 40 opener People, Places and Things runs on the Thigpen Mainstage from September 27th through October 13th, 2024. By becoming a season subscriber at trustus.org, theater enthusiasts can guarantee their access to all Trustus Theatre productions in the 40th Anniversary Season.
