The Actual Dance as a play presents the events of the year 2000 from my point of view as the spouse of the woman going through breast cancer.

It took me 12 years to write the story, so to speak, and the last nearly 5 years I have been telling it through performances of the play. Every October I blog daily to help in raising awareness and to share elements of the story that I hope are of value to those who read these blogs.
