Dangerous Choices: A Cautionary Tale of a Gifted Athlete's Rise and Fall-and Journey Back

Wednesday, May 2nd  7:00pm presentation, 6:30pm reception - at Duxbury Performing Arts Center

Chris Herren, a former high school basketball star from Fall River and NBA player, shares an honest account of his harrowing journey as an athlete whose life was consumed by addiction. Join us for a candid, heartbreaking and frightening story addressing the challenges he faced and decisions he made during a 12 year battle with addiction.  Currently in recovery, Herren's goals are to build awareness of how easy it is to become addicted and to prevent young people from making bad choices.

Tickets are free of change.  Seating available first come, first seated.
