A unique story of living

with mental illness.

Like, lots of mental illness

Stay tuned for upcoming performance dates!

In his hit one-man show Clowns Like Me, Sarasota actor and storyteller Scott Ehrenpreis tells his humorous yet profound story of living with mental illness. Clowns Like Me reveals the fascinating, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting true story of Scott’s personal journey as he struggles against OCD, bipolar disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, social anxiety and depression. Ultimately, Scott discovers that being on stage gives him the power, even for just a couple hours, to step into the light and leave the shadows of his mental health struggles behind. Audiences are in for a show that will make them laugh, cry and leave thinking differently about the stigmas tied to mental health.
