On February 22nd 2011, "Madhouse Rhythm: 10 Years of Madness" sold out at The Marsh Theatre in San Francisco. Watch a story about Joshua Walters, a performing artist and mental health educator, and his historic night at the Marsh celebrating 10 years of having Bipolar Disorder. Madhouse Rhythm is the story of someone who has flipped "inflicted" into "gifted," and coined "mental illness" into... "mental skillness." This show, which has had theatrical runs for nearly three years, uses humor to reframe madness in a positive light. For upcoming shows across the country, see thejoshuawalters.com.
