How to Make a Doll is a solo theater performance by Marisa Caruso that blends memoir, research, and absurdity to explore mental health and the transformative power of creation. Digging through memory, medical texts, and a towering pile of socks, Caruso searches for meaning in the failures of family and Western medicine. Video, puppetry, sound, and text collide in an experience where grief meets humor, science meets art, and when words fail, making something by hand becomes a last resort.&nbsp; Two speakers will share their stories before the performance and a panel discussion with the audience and mental health professionals will follow. This project is presented by the Stamford Wellness Center with support from CORE Values, the Thomson Family Trust, The Party Theater and the Foothills Performing Arts Center.&nbsp;
