The Best Medicine

Mental illness and comedy may seem like an unlikely combination, but a group of local improv performers has taken on the challenge. “The Best Medicine," coming this weekend to Baltimore’s Single Carrot Theatre, pairs improvisers with true stories solicited from the community. All the stories have something to do with mental illness. Ticket information available here.

Our guests: Matthew Manning is a writer, actor, psychiatric nurse, and the founder of "The Best Medicine;" Mikael Johnson is a actor and health care worker who has performed in previous shows.

Maureen Harvie is Senior Supervising Producer for On the Record. She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and joined WYPR in 2014 as an intern for the newsroom. Whether coordinating live election night coverage, capturing the sounds of a roller derby scrimmage, interviewing veterans, or booking local authors, she is always on the lookout for the next story.
