Have you ever experienced a concussion? Or perhaps you know someone who has? Traumatic brain injury can cause issues with concentration, memory, balance, vision, speech, sleep, and mood. The symptoms are often invisible, can last anywhere from days to years, and can be difficult for others to comprehend.    Mike Griffin, has worked with students to bring that experience to the stage in his recent production of “The Mysterious Mind of Molly McGillicuddy,” performed February 15-18, 2024 at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.   Mike is a lecturer with the Department of Dramatic Arts, affectionately known as DART.
