While caring for Chris, my husband of sixteen years, as he died at home of pancreatic cancer, I kept a journal of the tender, inspiring and often humorous conversations we shared. A Finished Heart is my performance of these actual dialogues, combined with narrative, poetry and a musical score.

Take this unusual opportunity to empathize with real experience through live, dramatic expression and discussion:

• to pose questions one cannot normally ask;
• to be present for a depth of intimacy that is rarely shared with the outside world;
• and to taste realities that are impossible to imagine.​

For people who, themselves, are in the throes of similar challenges, this is a chance to build community -- to feel and be reminded that we are not alone.

Dear Teachers and Students,

Please join me in this beautiful story that will expand your connections with each other and with profound aspects of life. I will be bringing you into true experience that society normally encourages us to keep hidden. It is a great honor to present A Finished Heart to all those who enter the world of Chris and Eliott and who may share their own stories with generosity and trust.

Sincerely,
