Scaring The Normals
We invite you to step into the quirky world of Creative Change Therapy offices, and watch this zany comedy unravel the chaos of therapy sessions gone awry.
Meet Keaton Schmirdle, a dedicated but high-strung therapist trying to keep his practice afloat amidst an impending insurance audit. But when his mischievous brother Jack barges in, pretending to be a therapist to woo a romantic interest, things spiral into a whirlwind of comedic disasters. Add in a colorful cast of therapists, patients, and unexpected twists, and you’re in for an entertaining ride.
Packed with funny moments, heartfelt exchanges, and a bit of absurdity, Scaring the Normals explores family bonds, personal growth, and the beautifully messy ways we connect with each other.
