The resulting documusical creates its own lane with a unique combination of high concept\, visually arresting storytelling and an earworm-laden score used to highlight real lived experiences and two amazing mental health professionals who tell it like it is. Happy Songs About Unhappy Things is a groundbreaking new project that aims to disrupt the harmful narratives around mental health. By blending documentary footage\, statistics\, digital art\, and mental health expert testimonials with sensational theatrical performances\, indie artist Nikki Lynette invites us into a musical playground that allows audiences to explore the deepest parts of themselves while feeling empowered along the way. \n\n\n\nJoin the CMU Center for New Work for the Pittsburgh premiere of this cutting-edge short musical film followed by an exclusive talkback with the creator and co-director Nikki Lynette.

Her journey with mental health outreach began in 2016 when she returned to the public eye after a long hiatus with a confession: she’d secretly been battling mental health issues. In a time when being open about mental health struggles was taboo\, Nikki began writing articles about depression and suicide for prominent media like Afropunk and AllHipHop. As the opening act for Pussy Riot’s first American tour\, Nikki workshopped the material that would soon become her musical about depression\, GET OUT ALIVE. In 2019\, Nikki made history as the first black female playwright to be produced by American Music Theatre Project\, in 2022 she became the first Steppenwolf LookOut Series work and first female AMTP alum to be featured at NAMT’s Festival of New Musicals\, and in 2024 Nikki Lynette became the first American Playwright to be invited to Cove Park’s Musical Theatre Writing Residency in Scotland. GET OUT ALIVE is currently in development under the guidance of Tony & Grammy Award winning producers Octopus Theatricals. A proud ambassador and board member for the Chicago chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)\, seeing her music used to tell stories in tv shows led Nikki to an interest in filmmaking. Since adapting her musical to film during the pandemic\, GET OUT ALIVE has been invited into over a dozen film festivals and won three awards. Her zeal for crafting edgy multimedia theatrical experiences that center mental health is on full display in Nikki Lynette’s second film\, the new documusical entitled Happy Songs About Unhappy Things. \n \n \n\n Nikki’s WebsiteGet Out Alive\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Roger Ellis (he/they) is a director who works across screen and stage.
