Survival Stories was written and produced to accompany The Gift of Life Block Walk, an annual breast cancer awareness event hosted by Sisters Network, Inc in Greensboro, NC. During this event, women canvass a designated neighborhood to encourage and provide free clinical breast exams for uninsured women and to increase awareness of a disease that disproportionately affects African American women.
We asked if we could use this opportunity to explore the subject on stage and set about asking women to share their stories that we turned into a powerful script. We learned from their fortitude and attitude about surviving this disease and gave the patrons and volunteers a theatrical appreciation for their Gift of Life.
