A virtual play about the healing power of Doctor Who.

The virtual play Doctor Who Saved My Life tells the tale of a survivor of childhood trauma who found healing, support, and strength through the program Doctor Who, the fandom, and conventions. Michael Broussard first became immersed in the adventures of The Doctor as a child in the 1970s. Seeing his hero stand up to and defeat fictional monsters on a weekly basis gave Broussard hope that the real-life monsters he himself faced could be defeated. Discovering the world of fandom and conventions helped him conquer shyness, anxiety, and agoraphobia. And today, Doctor Who continues to be an ongoing source of healing for him.

CW: This play includes references to and frank discussions of childhood sexual abuse.
