Experience an imperative collection of plays on the opioid epidemic. Elephant Room Productions presents The Fifth Vital Sign, a multimedia event addressing one of our society’s most prevalent diseases.

The Fifth Vital Sign immerses audiences in a collection of experiences exploring the crisis; from children coping with their recovering mother, to parents mourning their late daughter, a couple arguing over solutions to chronic pain, a mother who gave everything to help her son attempt recovery, and a rhythmic piece delving into the historical aspects of pain and how we, as a society, cope with it.

Featuring five plays written by: Caity-Shea Violette, Robby Justiss, Shannon Murdoch, Ellen Sullivan and Joyce Fontana
Directed by: Latrice Smith, Julianne Schaub, Robert Gene Pellechio, Elizabeth Potter and Lauren M. Shover
Produced by Elephant Room Productions' Producing Director, Christopher G. Ulloth

To keep the conversation going long after the curtain closes, Elephant Room Productions is partnering with Shatterproof to help prevent addiction and help those in recovery.
