As we come together for a night of powerful storytelling, unscripted conversations with our artists, and a signature mission moment, Lifeline Productions invites our community to turn an evening of learning and compassion into lasting support for mental health.

A Night of Stories & Light is a shared experience designed to open conversation, deepen understanding, and extend the reach of life-changing work. Together, we’ll light up the room with our shared commitments to dismantling mental health stigma and expanding access to healing through the arts.

Rather than asking people to simply listen, this night invites guests to connect — with the stories on stage, with one another, and with the impact their support makes possible.

A Spotlight on What the Night Holds

Unscripted Engagement with the Artists

Spend time with the actors and storytellers behind Lifeline Productions’ work, including Cristela Carrizales and Danielle Jacobs, the artists behind our 2026 stage debuts, as well as beloved performers Scott Ehrenpreis and William Luera of our prior signature productions.

Collective Purpose-Driven Giving

Throughout the evening, participate in various opportunities to support our year-round programs and further our mission of expanding access to arts and healing. Make a meaningful contribution through curated giving moments, including a live auction and donor-matching initiatives.

Our Signature Mission Moment

Our Mission

Lifeline Productions dismantles mental health stigma through authentic theater and facilitated dialogue that centers around lived experience. By creating space for honest storytelling, we help individuals and communities better understand mental health, build empathy, and feel less alone.

Our work lives at the intersection of art and impact — from original stage productions to workshops and community conversations that invite reflection, connection, and healing. Whether on stage or in dialogue, Lifeline believes change begins when stories are shared openly and heard without judgment.

Through accessible programming and partnerships across education, healthcare, and the arts, Lifeline Productions works year-round to expand access to creative expression and foster a more compassionate, informed approach to mental health.
