Community Presentation Series
September 2021—National Recovery Month
The Forty Hour Club will present a series of free community outreach presentations in September during National Recovery Month.
September 16th:
Stonington Opera House—Stonington, ME.
Join us for a FREE community presentation and short performance by The Forty Hour Club and
cast members of "Never Leaving This Boat" (6:00PM)
• Other Maine communities TBD.
With this Community Presentation Series, Gorman will introduce his project "CHASING THE NEW WHITE WHALE—Harpooning Addiction" — a performance based art & advocacy model that explores the current National opioid crisis through the unique lens of the commercial fishing industry, and draws inspiration from Moby Dick and Ahab’s obsessive pursuit of the Great White Whale.
Gorman and The Forty Hour Club created Chasing The New White Whale—Harpooning Addiction to engender a greater awareness of the epidemic and the underlying disease of addiction; create connection and engage the audience and community in a creative dialogue that propels constructive change; emphasize the need for more understanding and compassion; help reduce the stigma associated with addiction; and help initiate healing.
