“every.single.one”
The one-woman show by Cherie Sampson, “every.single.one,” depicts personal, familial and community experiences with hereditary cancer while exploring topics of genetics, integrative oncology, and healing from a patient’s perspective of modern medicine. It is a dramatic interpretation of an intimately personal and simultaneously universal human reality that explores the body as a site of uncertainty in illness, loss, sibling and community interrelationship and survival.
Recognition: “every.single.one” was a 2023 Jane Chambers Award Finalist.
