SHOW INFO
Written and Performed by Montana von Fliss
Directed by John Osebold
Dramaturgy by Jessica Hatlo

You’re gonna die. Sorry for your loss. Well then, let’s pretend we’re scientists. How do we, as scientists, measure loss (scientifically)? How do we treat it? And more importantly, where’s the punchline? This solo show by Montana von Fliss (scientist) will ask these questions and using the scientific method, carefully sidestep them. Through the story of caretaking for her dying dad, experience the joyously comedic approach to the ultimate end that is Cancer: The Musical (warning: may not contain actual musical).

Creation of this work was made possible in part by an Artist Trust Grants for Artist Projects (GAP). Find out more at www.artisttrust.org.
