My 2nd Act: Giving Survivorship A Voice

My 2nd Act: Survivor Stories from the Stage provides proof that a life-changing event like a cancer diagnosis doesn’t have to mean life no longer has value. Quite the contrary! The women survivors featured in each production have changed the lives of others with their 2nd Acts.

Live story telling as a form of education has existed for millennia. Prophets, troubadours, chanters, and more told stories to inspire and teach its listeners. Each time a story was retold, it inspired and taught others, from individuals to generations.

My 2nd Act is exactly that and has the same kind of exponential growth. Women survivors reading their stories of their 2nd Act after a cancer diagnosis, and how they’re using their gifts of time and experience to help better society. The members of the audience are, in turn, inspired to create their own 2nd Acts, which in turn inspire others. And so on, and so on.

My 2nd Act is a ribbon of support of the Women Survivors Alliance.
