Painless: The Opioid Musical Preview Show

Please join OPEN, the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, and the School of Nursing for a showing of Painless: The Opioid Musical! Painless was developed as a supplement to the Michigan Model for Health curriculum for high school students. The musical will be performed in high schools throughout Michigan this spring.

Inspired by true stories of opioid addiction and recovery, Painless: The Opioid Musical was developed to engage high school students and educate them about opioid use disorder through the arts. Painless follows a group of bored students being forced to sit through a drug awareness assembly at school. As the show proceeds, they begin to realize the importance of sharing and passing on these important stories.

Following the performance, stay for a Q&A session where you can ask about the creation, implementation, and evaluation of the program. We hope to see you there!
