+++++++++++++++++++++ + + +++++++++++++++++++++ AROUND TOWN +++ +++ ATTICREP ANNOUNCES FORUM THEATRE PROJECT: 'ON BREAST CANCER' Renee Garvens The Forum Theatre Project returns to present a topic as timely as its three predecessors: "Facing San Antonio's Homeless," "Borders and Walls" and "On Love and Marriage." Actor Renee Garvens has spent the past several years interviewing women affected by the ravages of breast cancer. These firsthand accounts of living, dying, surviving and coping with the disease will come together to form an intimate portrait and a very personal platform for dialogue. Presented as a work in progress, this project tells the stories of the women she has interviewed, interwoven with the story of the journey Renee's mother has taken with the disease. Developed in the style of Augusto Boal's community-based theater phi- losophies, this year's performance/ forum is the next step in the evolution of AtticRep's Forum Theatre Project. The event is free of charge, however, 16 | San Antonio MD NEWS ■ MDNEWS.COM donations will be accepted to benefit WINGS (Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving, Sharing).
