Everyone loves a good story. Gather around as area storytellers, selected and coached by The Moth producer, Susanne Schmidt, share their tales of living with cancer.

From absurdly funny to heartbreakingly personal, these are original and inspiring stories that need to be heard – and not just by other cancer survivors. This is an evening for our community to appreciate and applaud what different individuals go through when cancer changes life.

“Cancer Survivors: Stories of Hope and Resilience” is a fundraiser for Paradise City Dragon Boat’s racing team of cancer survivors and supporters.

Come to be entertained, laugh, cry and cheer on our storytellers. The program will also feature musical performances by June Millington.

Tickets for “Cancer Survivors: Stories of Hope and Resilience” at the Academy of Music Theatre, Northampton, Saturday, February 11, 2023, 7:00 p.m.
