2019 National Healthcare Decisions Day EventGrace and Glorie (a play by Tom Ziegler) and a Community Discussion Event Information: About the Play: Estelle Parsons and Lucie Arnaz starred on Broadway in this charmer set in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Grace, a feisty 90 year-old cancer patient, has checked herself out of the hospital and returned to her beloved homestead cottage to die alone. Her volunteer hospice worker, Glorie, is tense, unhappy and guilt-ridden. As she attempts to care for and comfort the cantankerous Grace, the sophisticated Glorie gains new perspectives on values and life’s highs and lows. Community Discussion: In honor of National Healthcare Decisions Day the April 14 and 27 productions of Grace & Glorie will be followed by a discussion of the themes of this thoughtful play. Join a discussion about the themes of life, death, and deep relationships as well as an opportunity to ask a panel of local experts what conversations you should be having with your loved ones and healthcare providers.
