Breast Cancer Awareness Month Performance: "Susan's Undoing"

In this autobiographical tour-de-force, actress/dancer Susan Chase explores her cancer journey with stunning, startling words and images that move and inspire. 

"Susan's Undoing" provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait of a singular woman, a ballerina-turned-actress who battled breast cancer by turning the battle into a dance/theater piece that blends tragedy with comedy. In creating her play, Susan found the emotional healing that doctors -- both medical and psychiatric -- could not provide her. 

Susan's performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring:

  • Dr. Mark Gittleman, breast surgeon
  • Dr. Jeff Blinder, breast radiologist
  • Jennifer Sinclair, Cancer Support Community
  • Susan Chase, performer and survivor
  • Debbie Zoller, Jewish Family Service
Free and open to the community. To pre-register, call the Jewish Community Center at 610-435-3571.

Co-Sponsored by Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley, the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley, the Jewish Community Center of Allentown and Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley.
