Social stigma can have a devastating effect on the lives of people coping with serious mental illness. The present study compared the effectiveness of live and video-taped theatrical presentations in reducing stigmatization of people living with serious mental illness. Attitudes related to tolerance and future contact with people with serious mental illness are assessed before, and after exposure to either 1) live performance 2) video-taped performance or 3) no performance in the context of a college course. Results indicate that the students who witnessed a live performance and the students who watched a video of the play generally reported significantly more tolerance towards those with serious mental illness compared to the control group immediately following the presentations, and one month later.
