"I Don't Want to Die." Theater of War Productions, Presented by WNYC

Please join us for the third installment of Theater of War Productions’ new long-form journalism series at WNYC. The acclaimed actors Oscar Isaac (Dune, Ex Machina), Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Oz), and Bill Camp(The Queen's Gambit, The Night Of), will perform “I Don’t Want to Die”: Needing Mental Health Care, He Got Trapped in His Insurer’s Ghost Network, written by Max Blau for ProPublica, to frame a powerful conversation about health insurance, ghost networks, and the challenges many American face accessing mental health care when they need it most. The event will be recorded with a live studio audience and broadcast the following week on WNYC.

Co-presented by Theater of War Productions and WNYC, with special thanks to ProPublica.
