Survivor Monologues

Ever fantasize about who should play you in your life story on stage? Here's your chance!

An ambitious project to incorporate the stories of people with cancer--all types-- is being launched and you can be part of it. In 2007 New York Magazine ran one of its most successful stories, The Survivor Monologues, and now some documentary playwrights want to start fresh with new people and new stories and turn it into a play in 2014.

We spoke with the project organizer and they are definitely interested in the metastatic point of view. So important for us to have the metastatic voice heard!!

Read more. Please consider sending them your story and thoughts. You may fit one of the categories they have listed or you may just wow them with your own story.

If you have questions or want to talk about it, email us:
