Part Time Productions connects theater to causes, raising awareness about a cause and offering proceeds from ticket sales to an organization connected to the cause. A Battle of Wills: Internal and External explores issues related to mental health in three one-act plays: Tom Fontana's This is On Me based on the work of Dorothy Parker, directed by Antony Marsellis; Harold Pinter's Ashes to Ashes directed by Christopher Hart; and Susan Charlotte's Love Divided By directed by John Shea. The honoree for this program is The Lieber Recovery and Rehabilitation Clinic for Psychotic Disorders at Columbia University. The Lieber Clinic provides comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation for individuals with persistent mental illness. Created by Susan Charlotte (Founding Artistic Director of the award-winning theater company, Food for Thought Productions), Cause Célèbre and its new division Part-Time Productions are devoted to fostering an enhanced understanding of psychological, physical and social issues through theater.
