RSVP NOW In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, EmblemHealth is sponsoring performances of “The Actual Dance.” This one-man play was written and is performed by Sam Simon. It is a dramatic exploration of the emotional and spiritual journey of confronting the possibility of being with the person you have loved most in the world through the end of life. In the spring of 2000, Sam’s wife Susan was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. That diagnosis and subsequent treatments took both of them on a roller coaster ride that moved from elation to despair and back again. “The Actual Dance” is a presentation of that ride from Simon’s perspective. EmblemHealth is sponsoring the performances on October 28 from 6 to 8 p.m. at EmblemHealth, 395 North Service Road, Melville; and October 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at P.S. 80 The Thurgood Marshall School, 171-05 137th Avenue, Jamaica. RSVP to [email protected]. Upon receiving your RSVP you will receive an email that will allow you to print out up to six tickets.
