Chryssie Whitehead Solo Show In My Own Little Corner Will Be Filmed

The autobiographical play with music chronicles Whitehead and her late mother’s shared stories of mental illness.

“Chryssie Whitehead’s solo show In My Own Little Corner: My Moods, My Mom & Me will be filmed for digital release, with details to be announced.

“The autobiographical play with music chronicles Whitehead and her late mother’s shared stories of mental illness. Directed by Bryan Knowlton, with musical direction by Nick Wilders, the production plays The Riverside Theatre in Morningside Heights…

“‘My mother never received the mental health care she so desperately needed, and because of that, her life was cut short. So, this show is for her—and the filming of it is for all of us,’ says Whitehead. ‘Her story serves as a parable—a powerful reminder of what happens when mental health is neglected and the profound transformation that occurs when it is prioritized. In both instances, the course of our lives, and those of future generations, are forever altered. The stigma surrounding these conversations no longer has a place in our world. We’re moving this mission forward through the power of musical theatre, creating space for honesty, vulnerability, and healing.’”
