ST. LOUIS - April 23, 2018 - PRLog -- The theatrical troupe Slaying Dragons and David Coblitz are partnering to bring an evening of play production and print display to demonstrate how these creative mediums can be a great source of expression for those who suffer from the effects of mental and emotional illness.

The play production and print display is set for Saturday, May 12, 2018, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Regional Arts Commission Cultural Resource Center at 6128 Delmar Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63112.

SLAYING DRAGONS is a theatrical troupe founded in 2011 with the mission to destroy the stigma of mental and emotional illness so that people can talk openly and receive the treatment they need. Theatrical performances are the means by which they succeed in their mission and reach out to more people to bring them hope.

David Coblitz is a fine art and commercial photographer specializing in healing/stress relieving art created to meet guidelines from research in hospital design. This type of art has been shown to reduce patient stays, meds taken, and stress as well as reducing hospital staff stress.

In addition to the play, David will lead a discussion of how art can benefit those with mental health issues as well as those around them. He will display a sample of this type of art.
