About

Mission:
Good Medicine Productions is a non-profit theatrical performance company with a mission to bring audiences of all ages transformative joy through the art of improvisation, comedic performance and innovative storytelling.

It is comprised of three branches:

• Good Medicine's Pediatric and Senior Living Program serves pediatric facilities and nursing homes in central Ohio. Professional comedic performers work in pairs to provide one-on-one entertainment to children and elderly with a goal to empower those in often powerless situations and to use humor and parody to reduce anxiety, sadness and isolation in the medical environment. This is the signature program of Good Medicine Productions.
• Good Medicine's Public Performances are high-energy, engaging creations of improvisational theater and innovative storytelling featuring larger than-life characters - Usually found on the street, rarely in a theater...
• Good Medicine's Classes are rooted in play and work to create high quality art experiences that nurture creativity, self-expression and communication skills.

Founder
Kristie Koehler Vuocolo has been creating, producing and performing professional empowering theater for adults and children since 1997.

The Good Medicine Specialists
The Good Medicine Specialists are professional performers with backgrounds in circus arts, music, improvisation, physical theater, magic and more. This is not a hobby, but a job they take seriously. Each performing artist brings his or her unique skills, experience, and sensitivity to this special work, allowing them to make meaningful, spontaneous connections that relieve stress, bring joy, and contribute to the overall care of patients and families. All performers are trained in hospital protocol, including infection control patient confidentiality, and child development.

What else?
A portion of proceeds from public performances and classes directly benefit the Pediatric and Senior Living Program
