"It's a story about humanity, what it means to be an outcast, what it means to be accepted. Interestingly enough, that's not just Merrick's experience in this story. That's really a struggle that other characters in the play are going through as well."

“[The Elephant Man] isn’t the only person who’s struggling with their role in the world - and acceptance, and love, and all of those things we all struggle with… people may be surprised with how much this story resonates with them as individuals.” THE ELEPHANT MAN opens October 10 at the Erie Playhouse, sponsored by LECOM Health. | Erie Playhouse
