Our Work
​

Our first production, Clowns Like Me, continues to make a lasting impact, shifting perspectives on mental health through the personal journey of Scott Ehrenpreis. Audiences in Sarasota and beyond have shared that their understanding of living with mental illness was “forever changed” after witnessing Scott’s story. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we successfully raised funds to bring Clowns Like Me to New York, expanding our reach and deepening our mission of hope and healing.

​

In 2025, we premiered Entangled, a bold new work that invited audiences into a layered exploration of memory, identity, and mental health. Through powerful storytelling and evocative performances, Entangled fostered meaningful dialogue and resonated deeply with community members, educators, and mental health professionals alike. We are currently exploring opportunities to bring both productions to new audiences through touring and partnerships.

A new show is in development for 2026—stay tuned for updates!​

​

Workshops & Programs
​

Beyond the stage, Lifeline Productions offers workshops and programs designed to foster creativity, resilience, and community. Whether through interactive theater experiences, storytelling workshops, or mental wellness discussions, we provide opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to explore, express, and connect.

Above & Beyond!

Every donation will help us continue to fulfill our mission!
