Event Description
Twelve women. Five minutes. One stage.
On August 2nd, the Women Survivors Alliance, in conjuntion with the National Women's Survivors Convention, will present the inaugural production of My 2nd Act: Survivor Stories from the Stage LIVE in the Gaylord Opryland Resort Delta Ballroom. The stage show is not only a production, but an opportunity to teach and inspire its audience.
Twelve women. Five minutes. One stage.
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.
Women heal through community. Women heal by nurturing others. A production similiar to "The Vagina Monologues," the mission of My 2nd Act: Survivor Stories from the Stage is to take the audience on a beautiful journey that celebrates and validates survivorship, and gives a voice to women who are taking charge of their lives after cancer by creating a 2nd Act. Using the gifts of time and experience, they are helping other women travel their own cancer journeys.
This event is PROUDLY presented by Cancer Treatment Centers of America - Southeastern Regional Medical Center.
