In “QUACKS AND WHACKS: A CANCER COMEDY,” written by the
mother/daughter team of Amanda and Terry Miller, absurdist humor,
clowning, puppetry, music, and animation bring to life the very real
struggles and triumphs of navigating the three-ring circus that is the
American Health Care system. CANCER CELLS SING, dance, and hike
through the body of Sharon, a middle school teacher, as gravel
cravings, horny doctors, and gargantuan insurance cards threaten to
destroy her. The show premieres at the NEW YORK City Fringe Festival
with FRIGID NEW YORK on stage and streaming from April 4-20 at THE
CHAIN THEATRE in midtown.The play is inspired by playwright and
performer Amanda Miller’s mother, Terry Miller – a longtime
theater teacher and practitioner now 77 years-old, who has been living
with a Stage 4 Lung Cancer Diagnosis for three years.
