The Phantom Art Collective is putting on the world premiere of "I Am", a multimedia play about PTSD written by S. Ostlund.
"I Am" follows a young woman, split into her Internal and External selves, as she deals with her PTSD many years after her traumatic event.
"I Am" will be produced at the Den Theatre in their Crosby space from 4/17/2025-4/20/2025. We are looking for funding for the space, our set, our props, costumes, marketing, and most of all to be able to pay our artists for their incredible work on PAC's first production.
