Last Sunday night, a sold-out crowd at the Arts Club Granville Island Stage gave a rousing standing ovation to Stand Up For Mental Health's Class of 2008, in their debut performance.

We wanted to thank all Vancity Members who came out to support us. The Stand Up For Mental Health Class of 2008 never let the butterflies in their stomach prevent them from giving funny, from-the-heart performances. Comedian Mike MacDonald concluded the show.

It is allways wonderful to watch audiences leave the theater with smiles on their faces, and talking with excitement about the show that they had just seen.

Thanks so much again, for all of your support.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the kudos.

The performance was videotaped, and there are clips from previous performances on our website www.standupformentalhealth.com . Video clips of the recent performance will be uploaded soon. You can order DVD's of the CBC Passionate Eye Documentary about Stand Up For Mental Health "Cracking Up".

Did you read Gary Mason's article about Stand Up For Mental Health in the Saturday Globe and Mail a month ago? Will be blogging about our new Stand Up For Mental Health chapter in Edmonton, and more.
