This is an archive page ONLY.Balancing Act is no longer available for bookings.While it is till a wonderful story, I now realize that so-called mental illness and the mental health system is one of the biggest farces ever played out on the world stage.

My heart is with all those who are in emotional pain. However, the 'real' answer or solution in not in the meds you are being given or the your institutionalize lifestyle.

(Formerly known as Balancing Act - The Musical)

written and performed by Wambui Bahati

This is a true story about a spirited survivor.

Some said she was dead. Others said she was on drugs. She was told she would spend the rest of her life in and out of mental institutions. She went from Broadway star to welfare mom. She has been homeless. She has dined with a former president of the United States. Wambui Bahati, a.k.a. John-Ann Washington, tells the real story in YOU DON'T KNOW CRAZY (formerly known as BALANCING ACT - THE MUSICAL)
