THE HELPERS by Cusi Cram

What do you do when your former therapist starts talking to a cat that isn't there?

When Nate meets his longtime psychiatrist in the park, he realizes that she may be losing it.  With tenderness and humor, Cusi Cram's THE HELPERS asks if we can reconnect with the life-altering figures who were  never exactly our friends to begin with. THE HELPERS stars Tony & Emmy winner Jane Alexander (Warm Springs,The Great White Hope) and Peter Jacobson (Dr. Chris Taub on “House,” "The Americans").  After the episode, director Mimi O’Donnell (Executive Director, Scripted at Gimlet), Cram, and the cast join host Claudia Catania to discuss pet loyalty, funding for theater, and the art of costume design.
