"Chemo Savvy" Brings Humor and Honesty to the Stage

Cancer touches nearly everyone, yet it’s rarely explored in the arts. Chemo Savvy sets out to change that. Veteran performers Verna Gillis and David Gonzalez—both currently undergoing chemotherapy—lead an evening of storytelling and music that blends humor, reflection, and raw truth.In a recent conversation with Radio Catskill’s Tim Bruno, Gillis and Gonzalez shared how the performance aims to open up a fresh, unflinching conversation about life with cancer. The event features storytellers Rebecca Kalin and Bruce & Gail Whistance, along with musicians Joey Eppard, Jay Collins, and Matt Finck.With Gillis’s sharp wit and Gonzalez’s poetic voice, Chemo Savvy turns personal experience into shared understanding. This is not a support group. It’s a performance. And it just might change the conversation.📅 When: Sunday, April 6 at 2:00 PM 📍 Where: Rosendale Theatre 📞 Phone: 845-658-8989 📧 Email: [email protected] 🌐 Website: www.rosendaletheatre.org/movies/chemo-savvy-live
