Experience live theatre in Cambria as the Cambria Center for the Arts presents Next to Normal, a staged musical performed before a live audience at the CCA Theatre. Winner of three Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this contemporary work by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt reshaped modern musical theater with its emotional depth and soaring rock-influenced score.
At first glance, the Goodman family seems like any other American household. Dad works as an architect, Mom manages the rhythms of daily life, and their two teenage children are bright and full of promise. Beneath the surface, however, the family is navigating the long and complicated effects of bipolar disorder.
As memories blur with reality, each family member struggles to maintain connection, stability, and hope.
Raw, intimate, and deeply human, Next to Normal explores the complexities of mental health, family bonds, and the resilience required to keep moving forward.
