The Dayna Clay Band: Fictional character. Real band. Vital cause. Paul McComas' acclaimed novel UNPLUGGED tells the story of Dayna Clay, a 27-year-old rock star battling depression and post-traumatic stress in the wake of an abusive childhood. Although Dayna's story is fictional, the book addresses issues that are all too real. The Dayna Clay Band adapts the novel into a stage production, meshing songs and spoken-word performance to tell Dayna's story. The stage version of UNPLUGGED combines riveting drama with original songs to chronicle Dayna's bumpy journey out of depression, through the South Dakota Badlands, and into discovery, hope, full embrace of her bisexuality, and love. Proceeds from our book, music, merch and ticket sales benefit the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN)'s National Sexual Assault Hotline, as well as One Mind for Research, Patrick J. Kennedy's initiative to eliminate the stigma of mental illness. Join us as we spread awareness of this vital cause!
