The Cut of It (2019)
Written by Meghan Greeley
Based on research conducted by Dr. Kathleen C. Sitter
Directed by Lois Brown with Nora Barker
SYNOPSIS
Breasts. They’re part of who we are. So, what happens when we part ways? For breast cancer patients, making choices about surgery is incredibly complex. The Cut of It is a unique exploration of the decisions real women made when they were diagnosed with cancer. Based on recent research with patients in Newfoundland and Labrador, this performance will make you think about the choices we make, the support we offer, and the care we receive. Free Admission.
Starring Ruth Lawrence, Allison Moira Kelly, Laura Bradley Wendi Smallwood, Alexis Koetting, Lily Halley-Green,
Amy Kavanagh-Penney, Yolanda Bliss, Mary Costello
Stage Management Cindy Stone
Costume and Set Design Melanie Ozon

The show ran at the LSPU Hall from Nov. 7 – 9 at 8 pm, Nov 10 at 2 pm, 2019.
Each performance followed a forum to discuss the project and the needs to address in our community. (Donations to Sharing Our Strength NL were gratefully accepted.)
Funding support gratefully acknowledged from the Canada Council for the Arts, ArtsNL, City of St. John's, SPOR, NL SUPPORT, CIHR
Please note: As part of the production for ’The Cut of It', we believed our duty was to inform audiences of material that might have been difficult to hear. Each performance contained emotional accounts adapted from participants in a research study about breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and after care. Private Supportive Counselling was on hand for those who may required it during or after the show.
