This is NOT a show about cancer but is rather an amazing play about living an authentic life. Heather Keller in what is a dazzling energetic display of the power of living with cancer and dealing with its pain and demands, rocked the packed house this evening leaving us all wanting if nothing else to see this piece again....

Heathers show is alive in a beautiful way- some of which is because she's recently finished treatment and partially because of her brilliant use of multimedia- some of the best I've ever seen.

Loved Chemo Barbie! Really wonderful storytelling in a unique style using multimedia, flashbacks, abstract characters, and POVs. What an awesome way to redeem the toughest year of a person's life and create a beautiful and life-giving performance from that. Chemo Barbie is a fabulous title for this, and the story unfolded in an interesting and thoughtful way. ...
