About the Show
Written by mother/daughter team, Amanda and Terry Miller,
Quacks and Whacks: A Cancer Comedy, uses absurdist humor, clowning, puppetry, music, and animation to spotlight the very real struggles and triumphs of navigating the three-ring circus that is living with advanced stage cancer in America. We join Sharon, a 45-year-old teacher (and the colorful cast of cancer cells singing, dancing & hiking through her body) as she dodges gravel cravings and horny doctors in pursuit of effective screening, humane healthcare, and, really, any kind of answers at all.
