Music and lyrics by Drew Gasparini

After deciding not to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, seventeen-year old Craig Gilner checks himself into Six North, a psychiatric ward, where he will face and navigate his mental health with the help of the unlikeliest group of people he’s ever met.
Lovingly adapted from Ned Vizzini’s beloved novel and the Universal motion picture, this indie musical answers the question…
“Is it alright to not be all right?”
With an anthemic score bursting with pop-rock and musical whimsy, It’s Kind of a Funny Story is an unflinching and uproarious look at depression, anxiety, and recovery.
