“Death, Cancer & Other Bumps In the Road…” a one hour solo show written and performed by Laney Fichera, directed by Kimleigh Smith this is a powerful and hilarious look at the taboos surrounding death and dying in America. It is truly funny, poignant, heart wrenching, and completely satisfying!

Audience members’ reactions:
Make sure you have a glass of wine and a box of kleenex! I was amazed at Laney’s ability to show such deep emotion and then move on without disrupting the flow of the piece. Such a pro! I had to cry, blow, and laugh all at the same time!! It is so insightful about the process of grieving and remembering our lost loved ones. The hard won life lessons are so well described. Just a beautiful experience to watch. Its universality makes it so relatable everyone can connect to it. – Mary Chickering
Laney, we should be thanking YOU for providing us with a wonderful evening of the talented YOU! We were so impressed with your show— your writing, delivery and mastery of a tough and emotional subject matter blew me away. Laney is one amazing and talented woman. – Ellen Lavinthal
