SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL CANCER PATIENTS

TO PERFORM ORIGINAL THEATER PIECE

 

The ARACELI Theater Project presents a multilingual (English, Spanish, and Cantonese) theater event entitled, “Attitude of Gratitude: Touched by Cancer,” at two San Francisco locations beginning August 6th.  This diverse community based ensemble performs an original script and production that gives voice to the complex personal, political and spiritual beliefs surrounding the cancer experience. Araceli Theater Project is patient-centered, and reaches many individuals who face tremendous challenges related to poverty and arising from their medical needs.  The group serves to reduce the sense of isolation and alienation that often accompanies a cancer diagnosis.  The creativity, expressiveness and humor of the participants, provides an insider’s glance at the emotional landscape of cancer and the various ways people cope with living on the edge of life and death.  The project is a component of the nationally recognized CARE (Cancer Awareness, Resources, and Education) program of San Francisco General Hospital.  The performance at San Francisco General Hospital is offered free of charge.  Performance locations and dates are as follows:

5:00 pm, Wednesday, August 6 | Free. San Francisco General Hospital ; 1001 Potrero Avenue (@ 22nd St.); Carr Auditorium, Building C
