Awareness: Two Stories, One Powerful Message
An evening of powerful storytelling featuring performances of My Left T**: a sorta true tale of the magical bond between a dog and her person and Artisanal Carcinoma. These two award winning shows delve into the profound experiences of two different women navigating the complexities of breast cancer.
My Left T** - Brandon Roberts shares a whimsical and touching tale of the perfectly matched pair of Omie the dog - who has taken on a vital mission - and her person, Gwen, who is fighting a battle of her own. Written posthumously by Gwen, with Brandon’s help, this touching production weaves together personal experiences, dreams and aspirations, offering a glimpse into the impact of breast cancer on Gwen’s journey.
Artisanal Carcinoma - Jennica McCleary, a breast cancer patient armed with a dark sense of humor finds that her 1-year detour becomes a catalyst for Creative Escape, bald ambition and a rebirth in burlesque as Jennica Tastrophe! Striving to remain a working artist, Jennica faces 17 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy and years of recovery. Amidst pain, depression and isolation, she wonders if there is purpose or “connective tissue” to it all?
